I decided to get myself a new pc, i have everything else set but am not sure weather to go for AMD or Intel. Ive Always been a AMD guy, but ive not heard very good things about the new Bulldozer processors.
My choices are:-
AMD Bulldozeer FX-8 8120 301Ghz on an Asus Crosshair V Forumal 9 990FX Socket (total cost = £340.23)
Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4Ghz on an Asus P8P67-M PRO R3 P67 Socket 1155 (total cost = £411.92)
All will be using 2000mhz Corsair Vengeance RAM, 16GB for the AMD and 12GB for Intel, owing to the duel and triple channel nature of the mobo's
Both will be running 2x 6970 XFX 2GB Graphics Cards
Both will have a 2TB 7200RPM HDD and a 160GB SSD
Both will have a XFX Pro 850Watt PSU
Both will be in a NZXT Phantom Case
So i was wondering what people opinions are, and if anyone has a Bulldozer and can say weather or not the issues have been fixed. Also will the extra cost of the Intel Setup would result in a worth while performance increase over the AMD.
Thanks for your time.
