You evidently have not run an AMD Phenom II rig b4, while Sandy Bridge is superior that's an idiotic statement
yes i have and toms hardware proves it every time when they use any amd processor in there 1000 machine the core i5 is far superior with a single graphics then a amd phenom II with dual cards you may beat my i5 with 6870 with two 5850 but if you were to use a i5 the benchmarks would prove they you would get more framerates from two 5850 with core i5
I already said that SB is superior, no argument.I also remember a couple years ago I had a PII running at about 3.8GHz with a 4860 1GB and added another in xfire, it made a big difference.

Either your ADHD or not very smart.
Were comparing:
1055t 2400
5850 Crossfire 6870
Yes my rig is gonna get more frames. His system will need a new psu to upgrade anything, his system does not mention an SSD.
Im thinking about selling my rig in 1-2 months for about $600 maybe $500. If you think about it you cant buy a rig cheaper thats capable of maxing everything.
If I dont sell it, I do see a Ivy bridge and trifire in my NEAR future.
