i sent the gigabyte am3+ ud5 back and i bought the ch V due to the bios being able to control it by mouse also being able to use all my cards in it and able to still use my 1090t in it... BD was just a bonus.

But still, after BD, you'll have spent like 370.
Only like 30 quid less than the SB set up.

what if bd is faster you swopping back martini
Nope.
Because it's not going to be faster for what I do ; Gaming.
Also, emulation is much better on the 2500k than it would be an 8150.
thats IF i get a 8150But still, after BD, you'll have spent like 370.

But you were trying to make a point about Intel being expensive weren't you?
And so you went from an AM3 board to an AM3+ board for what reason? Don't tell me it wasn't for Bulldozer, and don't say it was for mouse control BIOS as Intel already had that.
EDIT : Not trying to be mean, just, if you're making a point about Intel being expensive, you're doing it wrong

Fair enough.
I thought you were deffo getting the 8150 like.
Although I meant why go AM3+ over your AM3 CPU if BD was just a bonus of AM3+, as your first board never had mouse controlled BIOS.

Is it looking like BD could match or beat the 2500K in terms of gaming? I currently have an x6 1055T and am loving the benefits for media encoding, but want something more substantial for gaming. Got my eye on a Crosshair V Formula for my case mod but I'm not going to get it if the performance of BD won't come close to a 2500K for gaming.

Not at all.
A 2500k on Z68 using quick sync would be faster than your 1055T in encoding (Assuming you use an application that supports it). If the application doesn't, it would be around the same/little slower (Depending on clock)
And you'd be consistently faster elsewhere.

i don't know now.
i sold my laptop so i have £230~ and i won't have anymore money for hardware for about 7-8months+, so i dont want to waste it.
i could buy one and if it's crap i could send it back within 7days

Not sounding good. Would you say a 1055T -> BD would be worth it? To be honest, I'm mainly buying it for the aesthetics of the board! I can get a Crosshair V Formula for £185 whereas the equivalent Intel board would cost a small fortune.

The BD will clock higher, so will benefit you in games.
But if you want the performance, you've got to pay.
However, you're still looking at almost the same amount for the BD set up to a 2500k set up.

Depends if you use all the features, the majority don't.
I would not fight that argument. I already did and it was a train wreck. Apparently just having extra stuff you will never use available represents value when you could spend the same on an Intel board without those features you do not need but it's not value as a result

Hence why I went with the majority spin
which boards have pcie 2 16x/16x, 1 pcie 1x which can be used, 1 pci which can be used, atleast 8SATAs 2 usb3s, UEIF bios, ect
