Going to be upgrading soon

Just bought an MSI 6950. Love it to death. However my mobo has some components on it that are dying and my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU. I have and old 2.8 GHZ Phenom X II Black Edition. I have been waiting forever for the Bulldozer to come out which is why I still have my old CPU. But I have been an AMD user for a very long time. I am curious as to the benefits of switching over to Intel. I hear many amazing things about their chips.

I never buy new tech on launch day so it wil still be a while before I purchase a Bulldozer if I go that route. However it seems Intel has some amazing chips on the market that obviously have been out for a while. I do not really have a budget......however what I am looking for the most is something that will last a while. Not a chip that will be outdated im a few months. If that means the most expensive chip then so be it. But I am really looking for something to stand the test of time, at least for a bit longer than the usual (very hard to not be outdated in the tech world)

I'd be running games by the way. No vid editing or anything like that. And I am aware I need new RAM and a MOBO. I am just really interested in the Intel chips at the moment.

Ah 2500k wants a date with you ; )

If your not in any rush you might as well wait just a few more months for the brand spanking new Intel chips. They will for sure be awesome.

I never had any problems ever with and Intel chip. I did have problems with AMD though... But that was back in the day with the 486 processor,AMD K6-2 and K8.

ThoughI did have some what good luck now and then withAMD. I just preferIntel.

Alot of games like Intel and some games like AMD. AMD is more budget minded andIntel is more power user minded.
