I'm not going to lie and say that a 8320 will preform better than a 3570k in gaming (on average). But with pile driver being so close to it in fps while being so much less... Uhm, yeah... Sorry Intel.

That's fair. Good luck with your build.

Get this ram.

Also you can go lower for PSU but your build is pretty much perfect given by StayFrosty.

Did you not see what i posted A much faster build.. and after rebates it is only 979$..

And no the FPS are not close.

$ in both these budgets to have 2 7950s and X fire...

Also if you look at my above post in this thread... After rebates.. there is room in that budget to go 3770k and X fire another 7950 and be below 1300$

Sound card really not needed if your going with the gigabyte 990fxa ud3 motherboard. The sounds card on the board works well but if you want the extra sound quality . Just saying so you could save your self the money and spend it some where else and upgrade something else.

I'm more concerned about the impedance of my headphones. I'm a bit of an Audiophile. Or at least, I want to be. tongue.gif Though, I may downgrade to the ~$30 card. (DS?) In order to afford something a little better.

I'm really not interested in the Intel build. I appreciate the input, but I prefer AMD. Also, the $169 3570k you posted it for local pick-up only. I like the build, but I don't trust coolermaster PSUs. Not 80+ in any way, non-modular...
