So I'm looking for a high performance gaming PC that can run most things for the next two years on max or near max settings.
I had my dream computer all spec'd out on Newegg and went to pay for it today...then Sandy Bridge struck.
I'm really not looking to put off the new PC until April. If I knew I'd be able to get the new boards in 3 or 4 weeks, it'd be worth it.
So my question is thus: Does AMD's best offer still suit a high end gaming PC? What about Intel's best non-Sandy chip?
I'm willing to spend up to $500 on a new CPU if it's worth it. The rest of the components will be built around that CPU.
Thanks in advance!
