My regards ![]() As an HSA fan. I'm genuinely looking forward to what AMD and affiliates bring to the scene over the next few years. In terms of sheer compute power, I'm expecting it to be good ![]()

AMD fan here! Mostly because of price. I build budget gaming machines and AMD is always the way to go! My recent machine 91 year old) cost me $622 with Gigabyte motherboard, AMD Phenom II 3-core, 8 Gig DDR3, GeForce 550 Ti and later a Samsung 120 Gig SSD drive. Runs fast with Win 7 and Mint 14. The main reason I stuck with Nvidia is because ever since the 8800 I've been very impressed. Recently I found that Nvidia drivers run way better in Linux than AMD, so I don't regret it. I've heard a lot of good things about Corsair power supplies. I've stuck with Enermax, but have entertained getting a Corsair several times. What do you think of Windows 8.1?

I have built a similar rig ASUS 990FX Sabertooth R 2.0 ASUS 7970 FX8350 16 Gig Crucial Balistix 1866 9-9-9-27 @ 1.5V Crucial 256 Gig SSD WD 1 TB 'Black' HD Fractal 750 PSU Antec Kuhler 920 (Great and quiet) Samsung Blu Ray drive All in a Coolermaster HAF 32 case 27" Samsung Win 8.1 Pro But it is really my Number 2 The Number one that I actually finished the week before is a better Gamer ASRock 990FX Extreme 9 Gigabyte 7990 FX 9370 Radeon 16 Gig Ram 2133 Corsair Neutron GTX 500 Gig (or maybe it was 480) SSD 2 TB WD "black" HD LG DVD Antec 850 PSU Corsair H100i cooling (I don't know if it's the video card or cooler but it can get very loud from fan noise) Corsair 600T case Samsung 27" Win 7 Ultimate I did run 3D Mark with it and while I don't recall the score, the graph had me to the far right of everyone else, but such things are fleeting. Anyway it will work and I had a pot load of free games to DL. That's not all I have done. Two 8350's for the Warden, one with a MSI 990FX G-80 board and a 7870, the other with a R1.0 Gigabyte 990FX UD7 and a XFX 7970. I upgraded my Mom's with a ASRock 990FX Fatal1ty board and a MSI 7850 vid card, FX 4170 CPU, and finally the kitchen computer got another MSI 990FX G-80, a Sapphire 7950 and a FX-4350. Don't tell anyone about the 4350 because it is not only faster stock over the 8350 but currently $80 cheaper too. It is the Performance value!

Very nice builds... How much did you invest in each one? How many computers do you have?

Very nice, home networks are always fun and you are free to do whatever you want. I've got 5 mediocre gaming machines (Vista, Win7, Win8) One Super gaming machine (dual-boot Win 7 & Mint 14) Laptop for the kids (XP) Acer C7 chromebook (ChUbuntu) Supermicro Server (Fedora 18) A few extra laptops and desktops that need refurbishing and then get donated.
