Planning to buy a processor. What brand much more greatest AMD or Intel comes in processor. High end but in reasonable price.

With the new AMD cpus coming out soon, I would hold onto your buying plans until than. It will only be another few months.
the 980-990x series are not quite a complete waste of money, but for 98% of the users that is true and it is unnecessary. For that 1-2% that benchmark and/or want to use more than 8 threads (read: 12 threads) on a single CPU they are excellent. That said, I can't afford one, and don't plan to buy one anytime soon as I am trying to sell of my X58 setup anyway.
And then another few months til LGA 2011...it goes on and on.
I'd wait though, as rumours are saying the AMD Bulldozer CPUs are slapping the Sandy Bridges in the mouth.

I agree with this statement if you can wait till late September, we should have the BD and at a reasonable price range.
