New PC for gaming and game capture/rendering. Please help

i would get a i5-2500k for 220 or an i 7-2600k for 320 and get a gtx 560ti or 570 or you could wait for the amd 7000 series to come out.

see thats the thing. those are the ones im stuck between. Idk if the 2500k will do well at the video rendering and stuff. i know its great for games. then the graphics cards idk. i know the 6950 whoops the 560 ti but i want to be able to play BF3 on high

If your rendering program is multithreaded, the 2600k would be a benefit.....if not, stick w/ the 2500k

As for the whooping, here's the comparison of the factory OC'd models of the 6950 (484 fps as single card / 759 in CF) and 560 Ti (495 fps as single card / 862 in CF) . They pretty close in single card configuration with a teeny edge to the 560 but in SLI, the 560 stomps.

Guru3D uses the following games in their test suite, COD-MW, Bad Company 2, Dirt 2, Far Cry 2, Metro 2033, Dawn of Discovery, Crysis Warhead. Total fps (summing fps in each game @ 1920 x 1200) for the various options in parenthesis (single card / SL or CF) are tabulated below along with their cost in dollars per frame single card - CF or SLI:

$ 240.00 6950 Frozr OC (484/759) $ 0.50 - $ 0.63
$ 215.00 560 Ti - 900 Mhz (495/862) $ 0.43 - $ 0.50

he dosent need os so take 100 dollars off and u like ur fps per cent stats dont you
