I guess it would just be a preference whether you go with the i7 build or amd build in this case, cause the i7 will preform better in just about everything else, but the amd build will do better in gaming, oviously cause the gfx card.

IF you could buy that card, which is out of stock.

Wouldn't 2 radeon 5750s in crossfire be the same price, but way better than one 5850? Also like said before the 5750 are in stock and good luck getting a 5850 right now.

Also with this being stated I have one question of my own. Does one 5750 take up 2 PCI express x16 slots or just one? THinking about running 2 myself instead of the 5850 for the same reason, but my MOBO only has 2 pci express x 16 slots.

Get a Core i5 750, it better than any of the Phenom II

What makes the leading intel better than the leading AMD? (This is a genuine question, not an argument topic)
