Hi guys i cant decide on 2 systems tht cost abt the same (£1000) one has an i7 2.66 with ATI 4890 and the otherone with AMD 3.2 with 4870 X2 and i dont know if one X2 is better in first place and if its worth it because i7 is apparentlyy really good :S. and the sort of games i wana play are like crysis, far cry 2 and flashpoint 2 all at max setting and still want high 20's to 50 FPS (average around about 30's-40's).

thanks for any replies

the phenom is also a very good gaming cpu . Often its better than the i7 in gaming .

My vote would be for the phenom and 4870x2
