To AMD, or not to AMD; that is the question. I would take the time to do a full emulation of the soliloquy but I'm at work so I'll just cut to the chase. I'm planning to build a rig [i]very[/i] soon. And as such, I'm a tad torn between getting the i7 2600/k or the FX8110 for the CPU.

Purpose for this rig would be for media(mostly video) creation as well as gaming on the side (pre-ordering BF3 once it's available on Steam :D). K, back to waiting tables.

Looking for some audio stuff So I'm trying to find a good sound card, I currently have my eyes set on the Xonar DX because it outputs 192kbps analog, but I'm not so sure... So anyone got any suggestions? I'm not really looking to spend more than $100 for it :x It's a plus if it doesn't require external power, but w/e
AMD Radeon HD 6850 & 6870 What do you think of these two new cards? They're basically made to compete with the GTX460 and GTX470 and costs pretty much the same :P [url=http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=410880]Benchmarks[/url] Moar benchmarks/reivews:;task=view&id=627&Itemid=72 Newegg prices: [URL=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908]HD6850 @ 180USD[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121401]HD6870 @ 240USD[/url] Discuss :P
