Could anyone share some light on these new Bulldozer AMD chips...

I was origionally going to buy a

AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1100T Black Edition 3.30GHz (Socket AM3)

But when i checked today i saw there was a new chip there that i didn't see like 2days ago..

AMD Bulldozer FX-6 Six Core 6100 Black Edition 3.30Ghz (Socket AM3+) Processor

I can see by reading there is a difference but what would you guy's go for and what are the major difference's? I'm going to be running the CPU on a Asus Crosshair V Formula AMD 990FX (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard so the mobo aint really effected.. If someone could shout back it would be awesome! Thinking of ordering the chip + mobo tonight as its on the week offer :D
 
To be honest guy's Im looking at into buying a system that is really going to rock and last me a good few years as that is what i have been doing. The one i have now has lasted me about 3-4 years and has ran a dream! but theres better out there now and i just want whats really good (best) and will play all the new games and what not. You guy's both mentioned 2500k and i have no idea what that is :P but im looking into buying a new pc that will play games at a good spec. Id take any help at the moment! but im shining towards the AMD side of things.. good choice?
 
After some long thought i think it's time to make my mind up.. These are my two new gaming rigs im thinking of purchasing.. Im not a hard solid gamer but i do like my games and when i play them i just want them to run nice and smootly and have good FPS.

First rig AMD

Asus Crosshair V Formula AMD 990FX (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard - £191.99 INC VAT

AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1090T Black Edition 3.20GHz (Socket AM3) - £175.99 INC VAT

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics - £179.99 INC VAT

Second Rig InteL

Intel Core i5-2500 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - £167.99 INC VAT

Gigabyte Z68X-UD3P Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £137.99 INC VAT

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560Ti OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics - £179.99 INC VAT

So far those are my main parts.. PSU and Memory i'm very unsure of as there are so many to choose from so ideas of both rigs would be great! I already have HD and Case and other's. I dont know which one to choose from as ive been a nice AMD fan over my time but i just want something that will be sweet! I dont know how to Overclock or what not so thats out the question about preformance (i know you can buy them pre clocked also) I just want a simple bang it all together bobs your uncle slap on teh headphone and rock and roll! :D Shine some light guy's you think these build's look ok? Need to up something or down grade something? Just shout at me :D im a n00b in this department now
 
Right thanks a lot guy's for all your help! I'm finally going for this bundle after a long hard think and many hours or searching forums! This has been the best by far offering help also :D

But as i read the reviews the CPU fan cooler is a bit noisey so what would you guy's say to have replace it, I will only do a phone order and have it changed so i want a nice quiet one to run the super duper bundle im going to purchase for xmas :) I'm going to take 8GB of RAM with it and im also taking the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO motherboard

If someone knows a good CPU cooler for it that would have awesome! And i'll make my order this weekend

Thanks a lot all Ste!!!!
