looking to update my mobo , ram and cpu for under £400 ( AMD )

AMD is even rumoured to be bringing back the FX moniker.

Anyway,Sandy Bridge is a bit too expensive for my liking.

A Core i5 2500K for £140 sounds much nicer!!

Yeah, you won't get better performance for the price.

Besides, AMDs Bulldozer doesn't come out with something like Q3 2011 (so autumn, and that's it it isn't delayed further )

You do realise that that's what I specced, right?

Wellaman5000, that's fine, but as CAT said, you would do well to get some DDR3 RAM now, as it is looking like its price is bottoming out now - so can only go up!

Most reviews and statements seem to be indicating that they're designed to compete with current i3/i5/i7 XXX

Quicker than anything we've seen from AMD, yes.

It's not supposed to compete with SandyBridge though, its being released to compete with the OLD i3/i5/i7 lines
