This is a pretty good test: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/artic...-Review/1402/7

I'm not a fan of Intel, I've always built with AMD so i'll stick with AMD. Never had a problem, so why change now!

amd has not been competitive since the release of the 2500k. You should change because intel is far better. Buying an amd cpu for anything other than ultra low end is idiotic right now.

As rash as Hey is, he has a point. But in your case, upgrading it might be a bit more expensive than you want so it's understandable to go with the 1100T. However, don't blindly pick a side of the fence without looking at the facts; it'll bite you in the end.

I'll think about it. I still have another 2 months before I actually build the thing. I gotta get my personal shit from Az to GA first, and since the army wont ship my vehicle it'll cost me a little bit. Every build i've done i've never got top of the line stuff, but it still runs every game on max, and lasts me for 3 years. I really don't see that much of a difference between the CPUs. Even though the facts are there, I don't really need something that powerful. Like I said I still have time to decide!

Sandy Bridge is some great shit.

It's $30 more, and unless you do a lot of video encoding (for which the 1100t is better), the 2500k is probably going to be a good 20-30%+ better.

You have a $220 1 tb hdd in there, and don't want to pay $30 more for a 20-30% faster cpu? That is beyond absurd.

you're right I do, like i said, i'm still making changes to my list. Don't get me wrong, I am taking your advice. I still have time to decide on this. I don't really need an HDD that costs 220 bucks. This was just a throw me together list that i could make changes too later. I realize you're trying to help me make the best PC I can. So thanks for that, when I pick out my final build i'll put it up in the proper thread, Thanks Hey.
