Hi i usually help out with spec chekcs on here but thought id see what people had in mind for a friend of mine, he wants to go intel so i suggested the sabertooth, i7 950 and the corsair vengance.

he already has a case i sold him, the cm storm scout and hes buying my asus 5850 direct cu from me too. He usually plays games like lfd2, killing floor, cs:s, mw2 and bfbc2 etc. he is also doing a media course and does video editing and 3d modelling/rendering.

im wondering if it would be cheaper/better for him to get amd 6 core over the i7 set up. it could possibly save him well over £100 if he does, and would the performance hit really be that bad?

cheers, dane
 
ok the order has been places and is as follows.

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz
Asus P8P67 PRO Intel P67
GeIL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB
Samsung SH-S223L/RSMN 22x DVDąRW

he has a cm storm scout and a 5850 to go in with it and he will also be ordering a vertex 2e and a cpu cooler next week when he gets paid again.
