Wait a second, so I'm a fanboy by suggesting a faster system (Factually) that fits in the 1K budget with OS?
You haven't half ticked me off.
The i5 system with 7950 comes in with OS under 1K.
The FX6 comes in at 1.1K.
This is all fact, there is no fanboy fallacy crap in that.
If it was say an FX83 system with the 7950 and came in at say 900 quid (Almost 100 quid cheaper than the i5) then the point would have merit, neither system would be a wrong choice, but one that is slower and more expensive in this case? It's black and white.
Most of this of course comes in due to the FX6 system being overpriced, (Of course, he could have selected a different system, but he didn't, which is why I'm having a go, because he's just suggested a bad system for the money to someone. Since you know, it's not his money to waste, he shouldn't be doing that) but I don't work at OCUK, you do.
I haven't got a preference, just the facts.
And to actually display some facts (Even though I hate how limited these can be) ;

The FX6 gets so decimated it's not even funny, to even suggest I'm saying i5 on preference is a fallacy.
It wins one benchmark, by the tiniest margin, where it loses everything else, and some have quite a margin.
Hell, if we're going to start being throughou, given that the FX6 has the faster clock, but in these systems they're at the same 4.4GHZ, its one victory will probably be another loss, and every other loss will have a wider margin (Except for games where the GPU begins to become the limitation).
