Think of it this way - if your rig was totaled and you don't want to overspend right now because you're waiting for the Sandy Bridge motherboard to come out after a few weeks, which processor will you pick, the Athlon II x4 640 or the Phenom II x2 555 BE? This processor will be paired with an Asrock 890 Extreme3 motherboard and 4 GB G.Skill RAM.
By the way, if you have any idea, please also tell me if you can recommend any 4GB DDR3 1600 RAM which is compatible with the above AMD set and a Sandy Bridge rig. I'm planning to upgrade by the end of this year so I'm sure I'll have a lot of options with the Sandy Bridge rig but I still want to recycle the RAM, HDD, DVD Rom, etc.
Thanks!
