I know the zotac is really cheap but is it the same quality as EVGA or ASUS?

To be honest Iv'e never used a Zotac card before so I couldn't say. I chose it for price point.

AMD has nothing that touches that 2500K. I used to use AMD myself, but I'm a gamer and I go with what's best out there.

Can you post the benchmarks on those chips please. I would hate to think someone held out for something that could very well be a potential dud. Do those new AMD cpu's compete with the Sandy Bridges? Do they stomp them? What's the benchmarks say for those AMD cpu's ? Post them please.

 

[jackspeed]

there are no official benchmarks but there are some supposed benchmarks. amd says they will compete with intel but who know. If the guy is an amd fan boy for cpu we know that these processors will be better than the phenom II so if he is going with amd he can wait for the bulldozer. On zotac they are supposedly a cheaper card in both quality and price but they do have a waranty so if they fail use it.

OK, maybe that was irresponsible of me to list untested hardware.
