If you're willing to spend $700 on case instead of 2 GTX 470's in SLI or 2 HD 5870's in Crossfire or 3/4's of Intel's Flagship i7-980X or 3 22" HD Monitors =)
Nvidia disappoint me this year.. they didn't release a DirectX 11 card yet.. Why buying a GTX series card when you can buy an ATI HD 5000 series card which is DirectX 11 compatible?
@iimuki I never said AMD was bad, I just said Intel is a little better, but not by much at all. For example, compare AMD's Bus speed, L2 Cache and L3 Cache, to Intel's. Intel is ahead a tiny bit, but that isn't much of a difference. I think they are close to being equal, but if you have the money, why not go with Intel if it is a bit faster? If you are on a budget, then stick with AMD.
@72ugerBagsYou amd is great I use to be intel fan boy but 1k for the good cpu...I could use that for a car, ill stick with my 965 BE and sacrifice the little 5-10 fps(huge conserve on that)
@72ugerBagsYou the AMD 965 BE outperforms the i7 920 in almost every aspect, and its 100+ dollars cheaper. its like buying an Ed Hardy shirt, it's just for the name. In a Price:Performance ratio between AMD and Intel, AMD has it in the bag.
i suppose 90% of the people here are using these cpu`s for gaming, so there is not much difference there between the 2 cpu`s in gaming. Of course intel platforms are much faster, but i don`t use my pc for anything but gaming, i got intel on my notebooks ofc :D.
I do not do Intel for some other good reasons. I have used AMD since around 2000. From 1985 - 1999 I used Intel and even worked there. AMD is certianly a good platform to consider. I am about to upgrade the MB/CPU/MaxRAM/Case. I can't wait to get my hands on that Phenom II X4 and ASUS Board!!! Yee HAw!
not really...Why pay so much for an i7 when you can get a phenom II that runs pretty comparably and is able to overclock a hell of a lot more for a lot less money?
"Intels entry-level Core i7 walked away from AMDs fastest Phenom II in all but one test" Tom's Hardware.
overclokersclub compared Phenom II @ 3.8Ghz against the Core i7 920 @ 2.66Ghz and it still couldn't beat it. Also the PLATFORM is much slower. The Core i7's HDD speed was 180MB/s, the AMD system with the same drives was 70MB/s.
who cares? Even if the AMD is faster, I'd still rather go with a 1366 LGA motherboard that supports triple channel and SATA 6.0gb/s with USB 3.0 like the ASUS p6x58D premium.
Does any know if this case hold a HD 5870x2 (12.3" card)? They said the case is atx and looking at the right side of the case it looks like the 5870x2 might hit the right side.
my parents use that case for their personal office dsesktop

Yup, that is why I currently am AMD too. Intel got way to expensive. I was just stating my opinion below.

The same goes for video cards, comparing ATI to Nvidia. It's all about opinion and for that I like Nvidia, because I have owned both.

: ) I know, I was just making a point that AMD is not a worthwhile platform either way.
Since You seem to keep up with this tech stuff more than me, can You please answer question on which I've been pondering about?
Will the new i9 CPU's be able to run on the 1366 LGA motherboards since they're supposed to use the same socket?

well, i got the pci exprees controller from asus for sata 6 and usb3 and it works GREAT!
i put it on the crosshair 3 and i'm fine.

Sorry the 180MB/s Intel - 70MB/s AMD was the burst speed. The average speed was 99MB/s Intel, and 74MB/s AMD.
