Thx for the tips on it, I have been reading way too much bad things about it. Being that it will shut down a lot due to overclocking was a huge turn off. -

There both just as good AMD is starting to release a lot of good products, but you wouldn't know your probably runnning intel just like you always have.
On topic id recommend this processor for AMD - http://shop.amd.com/us/home/Detail/Processor/HDT90ZFBGRBOX?SearchFacets=category%3AProcessor&ResultsPerPage=60#Reviews
and this for intel - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&nm_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Processors+-+Desktops-_-Intel-_-19115072
Now im going to lead towards intel on this one Because it is a lot nicer for this price range.
*Ps if you buy AMD do not use stock fans. -

that is absolutely terrible...just shows that amd is not a fit company to be producing processors... an i5 2500k will run cf at 200 constant -

you've wasted your money if you purchased that rig for 1000, i can easily build one for 750 dollars that will run all games on high at 60 FPS and cf at 200+ -
