I was holding on to see if anything would come to light about the new AMD bulldozer. CBit gave us nothing (appart from the hype it didn't live up to). So now I am done with AMD. I have been an AMD fanboi since tha axia Y days, but I guess its time to terminate the relationship !!.

I speced myself a 2500K SB gaming rig trying to stay close to £800 but still leaving a few upgrade paths for the future e.g crossfire

Could the geniuses of General hardware take a butchers at this to see if it will cut it ?. main use gaming, EvE, WoW, and Rift now I guess

I know the B3 boards are out but I am unlikely to run more than 2 HDDs or possibly a SSD and a HDD in the future so I wont use the duff ports anyhow

change the power supply to a cheaper / lower Watt one like the beQuiet one...
