My HD4870x2 finaly died and at the moment only have a spare Geforce 6600 from 2004.
Lol, tried to log on with everything set to lowest quality and got 3 to 7fps. It looked aweful so logged out.

Im going to get a new PC soon so wondering which to go for. AMD is cheaper so was thinking to get AMD FX 8150 @ 3.6ghz (8 cores) AMD HD7950 3gb GPU and 16gb DDR3 memory.
I could spend more and get intel i7 3770 @3.4ghz, HD7950 and 16gb DDR3 ram.

The Intel version costs an extra £150 so does anyone think spending extra is worth it?
Stay away from the FX series, if you must have more than 4 cores get the Phenom 2 1100T all current bulldozers are very poor performers.

Why ATi? Nvidia Currently has the lead performance wise.
