How Excited Are You?

I'm not exactly finished choosing the parts for my build, but I know I'll have 8GB of RAM, and I'll probably find an AMD CPU that is equivalent to the Intel core i5, since my budget is kind of tight, and AMD CPUs are less expensive. I'm definitely not sure about what graphics card to get. I need to find an affordable one that will suit my needs. I am really hoping I can have it built by the time Pigs is released though!

Get a FX8350 ^^ Best AMD CPU equivalent to the i5 3570k.

Or get a FX8320 and OC to FX8350 clock.
A FX8320 is significantly stronger than a i5 3570K in multithreaded apps and will do good enough in less threaded apps.
(you should see it under optimized linux it is a beast with the right compiler.
