Actually it doesn't :p

In fact I just priced his mobo and cpu out on newegg and it's exactly the same price as a 2500K and gigabyte Z68 motherboard.

The 2500K will pretty much destroy the 1090T stock vs stock, and once overclocked even more so. Not to mention you can save on cooling costs getting a SB, Thuban will always require a more expensive heatsink.
 
"I would go with 1600 RAM instead of 1333 myself."

I will do that!

"Everything looks great, but I would go for Sandy Bridge. It's far better than Thuban for gaming in pretty much every way."

Yeah my sister keeps telling me to go Intel, but I've met alot of Gamer's who built their PC Who swear by their OCed AMD. I'll have to look into it more.
 
How about now?

If I switch out the 460 with the 560ti the whole shabang will run me about 1 grand. Pretty good me thinks.:grin:
