All right, so after having a complete f^%#& nightmare with this AMD Phenom 1090t, I'm going to listen to the people saying that WoW runs terribly with AMD processors and go with an intel. I've read online that the i5 2500k will outperform even the i7's for WoW (WoW is what I mainly play.) and that same i5 also runs circles around my current processor.
So, I'm looking for a motherboard that would be capable of handling that processor, and I'm also looking for a motherboard that would be able to handle future generations of intel processors (so if you guys could suggest two, that'd be great).
Also, I'll need a motherboard that could support the Radeon HD 6970 as well as DDR3 ram. I've got a 750 watt power supply so I'm good in that department, and I'm also running two hard drives.
Another question: What do you guys think about the i5 2500k setup with the 6970? I've got a little less than two weeks to return the 6970 if I choose, but I'm really just looking to run WoW at 50-60 fps in raids ( I really don't care if shadows are on and all that crap.) What do you guys think? Should I try the intel processor first and then see how the graphics card handles it before switching (possibly) to an nvidia?
Thanks in advance everyone.
