Im switching over to the light side......

They have been saying that since before Bulldozer. Fact is years later and AMD FX is getting older and slower not better.

Apple Monitors (Why do they look so good?)

Resolution has nothing to do with the displays quality. Aside from the resolution Apples monitors which are LG panels are hand picked A+ best of the best cream of the crop from LG. Contrast, Color reproduction and range etc are all top notch. OP Apple monitors are not some magical thing that...

With Intel processors being so expensive these days, is the 860k viable?

Canadian's will never get good deals as much as the States. They way the world economy is set up right now by the powers that be is that the rest of the world subsidizes the US in one way or another. At leased Canadians are not forced into paying $500 a month for a mandatory health care...

The price of Intel CPUs does not make an Athlon CPU any more or less viable ... it is what it is which is a budget low end CPU.

3440x1440 opinions: considering a LG 34UM95-P

You seem to ignore the fact that Intel still offers better performance. If you ran and Intel proc under mantle in place of the AMD APU LOL you would be well north of 60fps average framerate. Just because you need a buffer to make AMD APUs and CPUs run a bit better does not make up for the fact...

You can;t say that AMD FX is magically going to smarten up and be on par with Intel and make up for a huge IPC and per core performance handicap. The only way to make AMD FX better is to redesign the chip.

That's being ignorant to the fact the the Intel CPUs will also get a performance boost under DX12 so nothing will change ... Intel will be on top and AMD will still struggle behind. Best case is it might make AMD FX a bit more livable.

What do you mean exactly ? The same CPU on the same Etailer is $288 in Canada and $240 in the sates. The point I was making is that Canadians get bent over on pricing. The 290X is well over $100 more and so is the 970 as compared to the States.
