Update: Intel Build or AMD Build?

[Serrix]

This is an update on the question I asked earlier, an Intel build or AMD build.
After deciding not to blow over $1,000 on a good gaming PC I decided that a modest amount under $900 (that does included S/H in the budget)
I came up with these,

Intel build- http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=26981708

AMD build- http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=26981788

also, when the Ivy Bridge version of an i3 2120 comes out, i'll get one.
And, will the PSU in the AMD build be enough? Should I get a bigger one?

But the same question I asked earlier, which is better for gaming and other general use?

I plan on playing newer titles such as BF3 and later titles released this year.
Also so older titles such as, DoD:S, CS:S, TF2, and games from a few years ago.
And a good amount of WoW.

I want to play games though on ultra settings above 50 fps.

So i'm going to redirect you to my question now.

Tips and other help would be great to!

Thanks everyone!

Again not sure if you're being sarcastic. But again.

GTX 560 vs 6870

Maybe a few benches the 6870 wins out, but the majority in fact all of the ones passed the top few have the GTX 560 winning by a slight or large margin. Temps are also lower @ Idle and Load for the 560.

Overclock 460

You're correct in this part, overclocking is varied in games but at max overclocks the 460 performs better, generally, than a max overclocked 6850.

The 6870 is a solid mid range card though. After overclocking @ $150 it's a solid buy no doubt. I'm just saying that's how performance lays out though.
