Hello!
At the moment I was about to buy an AMD Phenom ii x4 965 which I was planning to use with an ASUS 7850 with 8GB mushkin RAM on a ASRock 760GM-GS3 for my new system, to game with. Although I was about to purchase these when I did some final research and the common theme was that an i5 2500k is a lot better choice over the AMD for gaming and the cost to get it, I can afford. But I was mainly concerned about whether the set up above will be able to play WoW mainly and BF3 on ultra/max graphics. If not the alternative to achieve this would be using a i5 2500k and a sapphire 7950 with 16GB corsair vengeance, to step it up a lot. However this im thinking is a bit overkill, so im hoping the first one will run everything at max? Or if there is a middle ground in terms of hardware I could use? I am currently playing on a 27" screen 1080p.
