Yeah, but how long is that rig going to last these days? Sure you can throw a cheap AMD based system together for little to nothing these days, but guaranteed you're not going to get as much out of it. AMD is cheap for a reason, because they've always been a step behind. Call me a fanboy, but Intel is the way to go. And as far as price difference goes, a 2500k isn't that bad really, even right now. I say wait a few months for the price to come down a bit more and that's the way to go. If you've got the money go for it. Thats what I'm doing, and I'm sure alot of other people as well.
