Unless you guys missed it, I mentioned that I'm currently living in Central Vietnam, and am myself, new here.
I checked with all the shops here and even online ones from the capital cities Hanoi and Saigon... the A10s are nowhere to be found yet.
I can't buy from newegg or tigerdirect or amazon etc due to warranty issues.
If I were in America or Canada right now, I would've settled for a 965BE AM3+ 6670/1GD5, like, last week. (The 965BE dropped in price to $90!)
It's still like more than $150 here in Vietnam, and in the city I'm in (DaNang), there's none to be found in the first place. Again, warranty issues if I were to get from the capital cities (I... really dont see a UPS, DHL or Fedex here, so far).
Worst even, I have a feeling that when the A10 /does/ hit our shores, the prices will be stupid.
Otherwise, the G860 is like $90 here, and I found a couple of online stores in Hanoi/ Saigon selling it at $70, so I shot out a bunch of emails. If the A10 doesn't make it here in time and in good price, I'll be going for G860+6670/1GD5, with a possible upgrade path of the 2500k + 6670/1GD5 CF.
Going with the feel of this thread still, I really wonder still if the single 6670/1GD5 is good enough to play all -current- games. The next step would be to consider the Sparkle GTX550Ti/1GD5, a $35 increase, or $350, over 10x systems, which is substantial.
