I had my heart set on a i5 2500k with a GTX 560 ti, but now I'm debating on doing a AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE with a GTX 570. Which would be the better outcome for a gaming system?? I want to spend about $400 - $450(tops) after rebates on processor and video card. I know the i5 2500k is way more powerful, but if I can get a better gaming experience going the AMD way packaged with a better video card, I would rather do that I'm thinking.
I would be playing Diablo III, Skyrim, WoW, Starcraft II at 1920 x 1080.
So again:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE paired with GTX 570
or
i5 2500k paired with GTX 560 ti
I should also add that I will be running at LEAST 8GB 1600mhz CAS 8 and I will also be OC'ing either of the CPU's that I get.
Thanks!
