and i don't even know why you mention having a hard drive, as that's a required component in a system. Also, depend on a person's usage, a dual core may not be sufficient to run both FF14 and whatever else he's running, and the list goes on and on and on... Basically, you're looking at it from a singular "I iz AMD fanboy gamer" perspective, while I'm trying to offer him brand-loyalty-free advice that hopefully would give him what he's looking for. Also, nvidia isn't overpriced this generation, neither is Intel overpriced, AMD just haven't been able to put up much of a fight. AMD needs to step it up with their next CPU, they haven't been able to compete with Intel in anything other than the budget segment for awhile now.

Back on topic, both nvidia and amd offer competitive product across all price range this time around, and you're unlikely to go wrong with either one, which means go for the ones with the best deal you can find within your budget range.

i was being a smartass since you where going out of your way to be one. I'm giving the OP my opinion and telling him not to waste money when he can get better for less; unless he wants to pay more and get less thats his decision. And AMD has no problem competing. They dont worry about minuscule gains and charging there customers 100's of dollars for minute and sometimes unnoticable differences in technology; they offer a very good product for a fair price. Next you'll tell me alienware PCs/laptops arent 4000% overpriced and are the best thing next to sliced bread.
