I've always wanted to get an Intel processor, but I use AMD because it's cheaper and overall far better at overclocking. You should highly consider the Phenom II 940 though.
Did he recommend AS5?I recommend you edit that post ASAP or else you will get neg. repped (not by me). Anyways, go with the MX-2.

And just when this thread is coming to a conclusion, I'm just gonna say I'd go with a Phenom II 940 BE. The motherboard and RAM will make the overall system much cheaper whilst keeping up with the i7s in games.
790GX + 2x2GB DDR2 1066
I just recently started getting into the Phenom II. I'm not going to change my opinion however. I haven't looked at the Phenom II architecture, but I do know that it's very similar to the i7 (considering it was posed off of it). But again, he's got the money to go with the i7, so why not?
I'm gonna be going with the GTX 280 for sure, but I think I'll stick with the i7. However, I came across a slightly cheaper mobo, and I need an opinion on which to get, and btw i might be getting this sooner than I thought, like possibly Mid feb to early march.

i rather go with the Evga one, its supposed to be really really good. Intel doesnt really make mobos that are to good, atleast thats what all of the reviews ive seen on newegg and other sites on their previous boards say. I rather go with the Evga one though
Yea, last time I checked you couldn't OC most Intel boards...someone would have to confirm that though. But I'm assuming if it's true, it's because they want people to have to buy their top of the line stuff instead of OCing their "pretty good" stuff...oh well, what can you do?...everyone's out to make money.
