    I'd probably go Intel if AMD doesn't show signs of releasing another (improved) enthusiast CPU by mid next year. Or at least having more cores on their APUs with much improved IPC and a few other things. Right now it seems the latest APUs gpu takes up about 47% of the chips die.

    Plus, if HSF takes off as AMD hopes it would then that combined with a couple strong cores could scare intel.

    Sorry for the double post but I need an opinion.

    Will I really benefit much from going Intel (not getting anything below a 4770k) compared to my current system? Or would I benefit more in spending my money on a much better GPU?

    FX 8350 (OC'd pretty significantly on air)
    8GB of 1600MHz RAM, OC'd to the max the system will allow (1866)
    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Rev. 4
    Gigabyte Geforce 750ti Windforce 2GB (doesn't draw power from just the PCI express interface like the original design)
    750watt PSU

    Games are more GPU limited nowadays than anything else. Wait a month and nab a GTX 870.

    Even in a joke build, you're still a fool to buy an extreme edition CPU. Especially if water cooling. That's how overpriced and dumb they are.
