Hi all, do you guys have any input on this?

To tell you the honest truth, I'd go with the 1090T if it's not for gaming and you need a powerful computer. The 1090T will be roughly on par with the i5 750 for single-threaded applications but be notably faster in many multithreaded applications. The only downside is that the 1090T is ~$100 more expensive than the i5 750.

^LOL. Umm... what?

Apparently it has something to do with NVIDIA shipping parts late (Jen-Hsen Huang is NVIDIA's president.) But mostly, it is a public service announcement for why you shouldn't do drugs

Lol, oh I see. Just so everyone knows, there was a comment that got deleted above mine.

So that's what they put in the new GTX cards? No wonder they smell (not true). Just go with the Phenom II X6 you will probably have a benefit since your not gaming.

Review the benchmarks... http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/146?vs=109

I would say the i5 750 is the better CPU now but the X6 has more potential in multi-tasking.

I did review the benchmarks, both Anand's and Tom's. The Phenom II X6 is a better CPU than the i5 750 in many applications. The ones that the i5 750 wins are typically poorly-threaded and it only those wins by a fuzz (such as Cinebench R10 single-threaded) The 1090T tends to be much faster than the i5 750 in multithreaded applications, like the vast majority of the video encoding tasks.
