Thanks for the advice guys.
I went with the i7, pretty much because I had the money to spare and I only buy a new computer every 5 years or so..so why not just indulge a bit :p
I have an AMD FX-55 right now, had a Pentium 4 before that, now back to Intel. Ill probley switch back to AMD in...
I thought I saw benchmarks that showed the other 2 performing a bit better then the Phenom. I cannot remember where I saw them though.
Also are there any motherboards for the ATI chip that would support Sli, or dual 260's?
About to build a new computer for Empire: Total War and would like some advice on what to change, what not to change..ect. Thanks
