New Build Questions
okay, so right now we are in the start of 2011, and with that bring me to build a desktop computer and give my current laptop to a younger family member. So this is somewhat a future build for me and talking about the new technologies. I do play games also currently AMD is more $$$ friendly than Intel.
So I am looking at the PhenomII x6 which has an amazing price of only $ 265
So should I wait for the upcoming "bulldozer" CPU from AMD or should I get the x6?
Any body have any other opinions/thoughts?
For the x6 I was looking at the the ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme AM3 AMD 890FX
So for the graphics card(s) am I stuck with choosing AMD? or can I go with Nvidia? If I can I am hoping 2-way sli. If not am I stuck with eye-finity from AMD?
Also if anybody has any recommendations please post. Also my budget is ~$1800 excluding LCD, mouse, keyboard.
Overall this should be a good build right? I am asking because this will be my first AMD build?
