I was looking at the new 8 core cpu from amd but the reviews were not so good. I was wondering if any1 here had built a computer with the 8 core and what their thoughts were on it. My other option was the intel i5- 2500k. I already bought a xfx 6950 videocard. Any other advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
