Task: Besides running high-end games I will be making my own game (rendering, graphics compilation etc etc) and Iam torn as to which way to go, stay AMD and hope the AM2+ socket (or rather the Phenoms with B3 using the AM2+ socket) can beat (or at least compete) with Intel or just to go intel.
I don't really plan or want to overclock, I'd rather keep everything running cooler. (but I wouldn't be against getting a lower end chip and OC to be on par with others as long as we keep the temps down)
and I want something pretty simple.. no crazy hour of bios modding to get it working how I need.
I was thinking the Intel q6600 or one of the higher-end-non released Phenoms... assuming price is NOT a concern(only comparing these models), which would you reccomend? or would you reccomend something else?
Id like to stay away from the extreme chips as they are a touch too pricey for me (900 something....)
and for the Mobo, remember to keep it cool as possible, will require some PCI E2.0 slots (1-2 is fine) and they need to run at full speed.
