Hey Folks
I am about to put a new motherboard in my Rig to prepare to buy a FX-8150 Bulldozer. Everything else stays.
I on impulse, being traditionally an AMD/ATI fan, bought a i5 2500k/Gigabyte Z68 combo which comes tomorrow. Now I've built two 2500k systems in the past for people and easily got both stable at 4.4 and 4.5 Ghz.
My question is this... should I just put in the 990FX board and wait for Bulldozer?
or...
Should I install the 2500k Z68 combo and return the 990FX board?
This system is used for gaming at 1080p mostly, with some lighty duty downloading/browsing/etc.
What do you think? I'm making whatever change tomorrow morning!
