New system advice

[mfenn]

I respect your point of view, but it is not going to be the same as mine because my experience with older CPUs has been different. I would like to point out that the 3820 is $300, not $400, and will retain resale value; there is no need to exaggerate to make your point, since it is good enough without the inclusion of misinformation.

My bad, I was going off of memory and didn't look up the price. I've edited my post to reflect that it is $300. It doesn't change my point though.
