Did you not decide on the Phenom X4 9750 allready as that is written in your first post? Hi Nighthog, i don't know. In the beginning, i was thinking to take the Phenom 9750, in order to have a performing, future proof, PC but, as hybrid2d4x4 suggested, it could be overkill for my actual needs... So...

Hi guys! I've just discovered this interesting forum, and i'd like to ask you an opinion about a rig i'm about to build.
