    Radeon 6870 for under $200 over here. Very good deal, even with the 7000 series out. Right time to be building a new rig. Until nVidea brings out their next card I'd stick with AMD, they are doing it right in the GPU market.

    Currently, in terms of CPUs, I cannot, with good conscience, recommend AMD. Unless you go back to a Phenom II x6 1090t Black Edition. Bulldozer sucks. Period. The best Bulldozer is around $200 and at that price point Intel's i5-2500K is superior.

    as an owner of both an AMD GPU and a 1090T i agree completely.
