been told to check AMD CPUs, if I want to use the i5 2400, my friend told me to go for the :
phenom II x6 1100t
or
Bulldozer FX 8150
that is If I'm getting the 2400, but If I'm getting 2500k, then stick to intel.

any ideas?
and If I swaped to AMD, will that clash with nVidia?
heard that AMD and ATI compatability is better, so will it affect me?
