Earlier I posted a thread, but in the wrong section, so I'm going to re-post here with the current build I'm looking forward to. Please do share your opinions! (I'm mostly worried about the video card).
Motherboard:
Asus M5A97 PRO, AMD 970, AM3+ (up to 140W), DDR3, 2xPCI-E (CF), DTS 7.1, Lan1000, 6xSATA RAID 6Gb/s 0,1,5, 10, 2xUSB3.0, ATX
Yeah, that'll do it. The setup in my sig runs TOR maxed at 1920x1200. Your video card is as powerful as mine and the CPU nearly as fast as mine would be if it were stock.
You will find little use of the 8 cores in games, couple that with the rather poor single-core performance of the Bulldozer chips and you are looking at a CPU that isn't at all for gaming. If you do use your computer for more heavy multi-threaded applications, then it is a potent choice, if not - go for the i5 2500k.
Further, I don't see a listed budget, or if you have the components not listed (PSU and case primarily). Anyway:
