I thought you wanted to get the 1090t, but the phenom is better.

 

[argueta789]

[amuffin]

if i were you i would get the i5-2500k.

 

[argueta789]

too much $

 

[amuffin]

Well what is your budget for cpu?

I have a x6 processor, go with a black edition x4 and OC the hell out of it.

Software doesn't utilize bulldozer right now so just stick with phenom till the software catches up with the hardware.

 

[argueta789]

so bulldozer is not being used to its full potential right now?

I doubt it, its most likely not the software, but the cpu its self. Amd really screwed up here.

For gaming the FX really isn't worth it.
