Guys...1st I wanted to say I've been a AMD fanboy for years now. I haven't used a Intel CPU in ages (10 years) I'm itching to build a new rig & I can't see myself buying an AMD Vishera FX-9590 for more money then a Intel i7-4770K. AMD is 220 watts vs. Intel @ 84 watts. Benchmarks give the nod to the 4770K is most cases. My rig is pretty old (over 4 years now) but still holding it's own. I could hang on for another 9 months as I don't game much @ all in the summer months.
The 4770K is appx. $300.00 which I think is reasonable. See my specs below. I really HATE to give Intel my business, but I don't think they are many options! Should I hold-on for a little while longer, or should I start ordering parts? I have already purchased everything within the last 6 months, but the MB & CPU. Any insight?
