yeah it you're going the fx6100 route i'd suggest going amd for your gpu as well. my build is about 8 months old. I''m using a 6100 also, but an amd 6850 and I no problem playing everything on high and extra.. no AA tho.

Why? that statement makes no sense he was given a GTX 580 and GTX 580 creams the 6850.

I'm not saying he should rock the 6850, im saying go AMD in general and that I went amd with my 6100 and i've had amazing results. A guy in the clan I play with a gtx 560ti.. in theory he should be out performing my 6850, but when we play bf3 together, SWTOR, wow. etc. I seem to our performe him on higher settings. Usually getting 2 - 4 frames a second more. Again I know the 560ti isnt the 580 he's getting, but what I'm saying is even tho the 560ti should be out performing my 6850, it doesn;t with the amd processor.. Not entirely sure if it's gpu related or if he's having driver issues or what. I just find in general AMD with AMD works well.

jakes456

the last 2 CPU's I've had by AMD were amazing, an Athlon 640 X4, and a Phenom 955 X4

both performed excellently
