Intel, are generally higher quality.

if you match things up that way you will in no way get the right processor. again, cores and cpu clock speed (GHz) is not all there is to a processor.
(the i7 also has something called hyperthreading which gives another 4 theoretical cores.)
doesn't matter though, get the bulldozer six or eight core.

True, but if you look at the benchmarks, the new bulldozer chip is just behind intel's i7 in performance terms.

On the LGA1155 side of things, at least.

Interesting stuff... It's a wonder I get by on just my stock Inspiron/iMac/Macbook

I've never had a problem with either of my Macs and they run smooth as can be.
You could say I wanna marry Steve Wozniak, but that would just begay odd.

Shockingly, so does my custom-built computer, and it cost way less than a mac and has better specs.

Please keep this thread on the topic of helping me pic out some good quality parts for my new build instead of a mac hating thread?

The new i7 3820, 3930k and the 3960X are going to be release soon. The processors utilize Intels Sandy Bridge-E technology, and have been implemented on new chips. The i7 3820 is a normal quad core, with a standard frequency of 3.6Ghz and turbo boost to 3.9. Due to the new chip being used, new motherboards (X79) have been created which offers PCI Express 3.0, a *dance* load of ram slots, etc. The expected release date is around November give or take.
The i7 3820 is expected to be under $300.
The I7 3930K is over $500 and the 3960X is around $1000, both offering six cores.

Pics when it's finished? Sounds quite nice. Btw, I found this neat little thing. Idk if you'll have enough room for it, but it's just an idea for only $25 added to the total price, and free shipping. I figure you might need a little something more than a hamster-driven fan to cool off a gaming PC

I don't know. Might get it not sure though
How about we turn this thread into a computer general thread? People can talk about new products and build in here instead of creating new threads

try and see if you can get a slightly better graphics card, but it doesn't really matter.

Bundle is a good offer, but the graphics card is kinda weak - but will be fine to power that kind of screen if you don't have a good enough monitor.
