But im going to wait until january

out of curiosity…

what made you go for amd over intel?
why did you choose a xfx card?

(concerning xfx, they had the worst rma handling i ever experienced in a decade of buyn/selling hardware. but that may be different for someone who only has just an hours drive to shit on some managers desk. avarage turnaround of 1 1/2 month is not acceptable from anywhere on the world.)

AMD is much cheaper for lower end cpu’s and the mainboards are much cheaper.
