No one has the patience to wait, so they end up perpetuating rumor as fact.

We'll see when it's released.

For the people trying to say Intel is just a company that does nothing illegal: Intel has been found to have been anti-competitive and monopolistic in the past. Why do you think they're paying money to AMD? Please don't mistake my comment as fanboyish, but some of the comments in here are just...

I don't like this, because it takes advantage of idiots... wait...

I still think the 2500k is a best buy, but it's so close to BD, why not wait and see?

I would agree with you if we were talking about someone who was constantly upgrading their system. However, we're talking about someone who hasn't upgraded their system for 6 years. Factoring that into the equation, I would go with what is the best combo now... plus 'future-proofing' is a bit of...

--bah, double post ;)--

For all intents and purposes you are correct. However, there is quite a bit of upside and no downside to practicing a bit of patience. Bulldozer is close to release and there is no harm in waiting. The recommended setup could last him the next few years, but a Bulldozer setup could potentially...

Definitely, $25 alone shouldn't hold you back from upgrading, but Battlefield 3 doesn't come out until 25/10/11. I would exercise some patience, and let the market play out a bit, before pulling the trigger. Easier said than done when you have the upgrade itch!

With all due respect, I will have to disagree with your disagreement. I would recommend waiting a month to see how Bulldozer effects the market. Unless you can snag a 2500k for 180 or less (/cough, microcenter, /cough), I would wait.

This code also works for the Augmented Edition and drops it down to 40 bucks :) and apparently you get a free copy of the original Deus Ex GOTY Edition for free on top of it... If only I wasn't so set on getting it for the 360. Link...

Thanks for the info guys, I'll probably go the i7 route then. Any sweet spot (price/perf) cpu in that region?

Hmm, will look into flipping that fan around. As far as the CPU, I'm seeing about 17000 in 3dmark 06 with the the e8400 and 5770's in crossfire. I have seen some much better scores with the same crossfired cards, so I figured my CPU was hampering me. I figure a lot of that is due to DDR3 and 3...

Hey, thanks for the replies. I have added the motherboard to my list; it's an Asus P5Q Pro (P45 board). Also, I should mention I'm willing to spend about 500 dollars on upgrades. I don't believe in future proofing, but this would be something I'd be running for the next year.

Hey guys, I'm looking at possibly upgrading my computer and I was looking on some input as to what I should upgrade next (i'm thinking the cpu/mobo but always open to suggestions). I mainly use the rig as a gaming machine (Starcraft, Warcraft, WoW, Aion, EQ2, Metro2033, TF2, L4D2, League of...
