Please use alt print screen because I don't want your entire screen with the window unreadable. | ||

My budget will be 750-1250 canadian, I would consider overclocking way down the line if my rig needs a boost, but the alternative (buying new parts) seems fine too. The PC will be my everything-but-homework PC such as SC2,D3, whatever other game appeals to me too! I'm pretty much looking to make a rig with all my options open such as SLI/Crossfire for dual screen or perhaps feed it to a TV, whatever's clever you know:D I will be making an official hardware request when I get a better idea though. For the time being.. Back to my question, in my case which of the paths would you go down? I'm scared | ||

I'm scared I'd love to know your source for Bulldozer being worth a damn for anything besides heavily threaded tasks. Pretty much nobody but fanboys is expecting it to be worth anything for gaming. Intel wrecks AMD right now, and most people expect that status quo to be maintained. | ||

If you want to leave the option of overclocking and multi-GPU open in the future, you should opt for a Z68 or P67 motherboard, something such as a P8Z68-V for around $160 is a good option for Canadians. | ||
