Can't go wrong with the intel i5-2500k will handle any game you throw at it, can clock it up to 4.5ghz on stock no need for the i7 when you can do this, use the money you would of saved and get a decent graphics card. I haven't had good experiences of Amds latest offerings especially the bulldozer range intel is the way to go Amd have gone downhill :)

At the time I bought it, it was pretty high spec: 2x 2GHz dual core Opteron CPUs, 4GB RAM, 640MB RAM on the graphics card, 150GB + 2x 320GB hard drives, T-Balancer temperature sensor + fan controller subsystem... I've done some upgrading: added another 4GB RAM, swapped out the graphics card for one with 1GB RAM, added another 3x 320GB HDD to make a RAID5 array; but I'm wondering whether to go for a fresh system with faster processors. Unfortunately, Vadim have gone out of business. Does anyone know of a similar company they'd trust to do a decent job of building a similar system but with a more up-to-date (spelled f - a - s - t - e - r!) processor etc?
