so with planetside2 looming and me saving cash to build a new system I kinda came at a cross roads recently first let me say that am an intel and nvidia fan-boy

But I have been doing a little bit of research and when comparing the the 8core AMD FX chip set to the I7 Intel processor Considering ill be having my own decided card or two, I am beginning to wonder if the AMD is the better choice seeing as all eight cores are unlocked for overclocking and Intel's i5-i7 processors only tiny bit of advantage lies in power saving by swtching off dedicated gpu for less strenuous tasks as in checking your email or browsing the web.

and apparently AMD FX motherboards have some kinda special platform when you combine it with AMD Radeon cards called Scorpius or something that's suppose to make things faster


With that being said I still have a geforce 460 I can use in the system for the physx if i get a duel or tri pcix motherboard


The cost of the two configurations wants me to buy cheaper on what looks like a powerful 8 core chip but Ive never really was a fan of AMD or Radeon cards.

So I wanna hear from you what is your options thoughts or just correct me if I said something out of place I can take constructive criticism pretty well.
