Do you really need the extra cores?

Also you basically can't buy a cheap motherboard for AM3+, there's only one, and you're better off with a board that can OC so you can minimize CPU bottlenecking in games, an i5 is a better choice if you don't need the cores.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Looks like i'll be using one of these builds! If you would suggest one that would be great! I want to be playing at 60 fps (lowest) and be able to record little bits and pieces, Thanks for your time and effort! :)
