@FreeForAllGamerz don't waist your money on a faildozer. get and older phenom (which is actually faster) AMD FAIL

@FreeForAllGamerz pretty damn good, I personally would prefer intel, but still. What GPU are you putting in there?

The Gigabyte board is amazing I have one and it is fantastic !

@shaolindreams ... Ivy bridge will be (firstly) released for LGA1155, in Q4 of 2012 however, we should find out more on Ivy bridge-E for LGA2011

I just picked up a AMD radeon 6770HD. and on my broke ass college budget, that is the love of my life right now. paired with my brand new samsung 27 inch monitor, and i'm a happy man playin' Skyrim like a madman!

Bulldozer was a total disappointment, The FX - 8150 performs very well though but besides for that the series has been a fail. The Phenom II CPU's are identical or better in most case's so go for those. Let's not forgot that AMD has the leading performance just a few years back and leaving Intel in the dust, just you wait, this happens all the time, either one of those companies are in the lead at some point or another.

@justisnotgood funny I was never considering to get mw3 for the pc I do have it for the ps3 since my buddies all have it but pc side bf3 is wher its at and is it easy to get a pirated verison of windows 7 for free if it is that will save me 100 bucks of cyberpower

hey somebody can tell me if i must buy asus M5A97 PRO or EVO

[BerriesMcGOO]

the sabertooth is not an uber motherboard.... do not buy that gigabyte board either

also anything "bulldozer" is fail

AMD CPU's look better than intel CPU's.
