all i can see is the amd spec will allow you to add a bulldozer chip other than that i cant suggest anything else if those are your price range

Price range sucks doesn't it. I dno which to get as amd = bulldozer but intel = ivybridge

 

[NMEBowen]

personally id get the amd and upgrade the cooling to the titan but thats because im not that big a fan of intel but its your choice.

I'm gonna think about it but probs go for AMD

fftopic: Are you watching the Riots coverage? Its shocking.


Should I upgrade processor too to 970?

yer been watching the news no idea about the 970 havent done much in the way of research on any of the quad cores only the x6 and above i said about the titan guessing its going to be used alot (dont want you pc to cook).
