Hi guys,
I've got a bit of a conundrum to sort out here.
I'm upgrading my existing motherboard and processor at the end of the month and i cant decide on wether or not to cross over to the I7 or to go with the AMD Hexa Core 1090T. Keeping in mind that i use my system mostly for play games or watch videos.
I'm wondering which provides the best value for money & if the 1090T is a better AMD choice than intels similarly priced processors such as the 920, 930 and 860.
I'm also attempting to keep it future proof so that when the likes of the I9 or the AMD Bulldozer come out in several months time i'll be able to switch directly onto the new architecture. From what i understand when the Bulldozer comes in its apparently going to be AM3 socket and make short work of most of Intels line up from what i can gather but then there is the I9, call me skeptical but i can't see them being cheap.
anyway, cheers for the points of view and any advice you can give me on the matter.
Myth.
