Can you elaborate? I haven't heard anything about this yet.

The combo I stated earlier will allow you to be around budget at $320 and let you fully use a 4870 on fps it will be quite good although you will need to overclock the processor to get the speed to not bottleneck it. The intels will give you quite a large performance boost so I think you need to consider your budget before posting as if its <400 then AMD is the way >400<1000 its a 775 intel and 1000+ is I7 kinda build with multi-gpu
The original amd build was 285 mine wasn't and although that combos up AMD is constantly on combos as they are dirt cheap even when not on a combo. What I am trying to push is that AMD's are still useful and that your being a bit of an intel fanboy by not seeing that in the very low end of the market they are still of use.
