AMD cpu question

Well the 1100 has an extra 100MHz, but ideally it's exactly the same, same power usage, bus speeds, architecture and num of cores.
If you don't need the extra 100MHz for rendering or something then just get the 1090. AMD have a silly number of similar CPU's.

unless youve already got the motherboard i'd go for the i5 2500k. its just a bit better than the 1100T:

however, if you have got the motherboard i'd save your cash and get an X4 955, because most games cant make use of more than 4 cores:

look at the FPS scores, theres barely any difference despite the two extra cores. if you'll be doing a lot of stuff that isnt gaming then obviously the extra cores will help (and of the two i'd get the 1090T)
