Hey all,
Quick edit to this post regarding i7 vs X6. Pretty much decided to go AMD for a budget standpoint and I'm pretty sure the AMD can do a decent job of WoW and some light multitasking. I guess you could argue that with the new intel Sandy Bridge coming out the price might drop a little for other ones, but not by much and I just don't think I need that much. So with AMD in mind now I'm not sure if I need even the X6 or if a quad core (i.e. 955) would work just fine. The price difference there isn't huge though so wondering if just getting the X6 would be a good idea (albeit at a lower clock speed now 1055 v 955).
Questions:
1. With the new processors/MB/Vid card can I use my current case (Thermaltake Tsunami) or will more fans/airflow be needed? (I like it)
2. Anyone recommend a good MB AM3? Not going to crossfire, would rather get one good card with the money, especially for my use.
Thanks for the help!
