My original build was AMD/ATI, but a lot of research and a couple of lengthy conversations with people swayed me. Also a lot more support.

Afaik the most expensive intel processor there is is better than the most expensive amd processor. But you're buying neither of those so I don't see the point.

| CPU is something you can really go cheap on without losing major performance. Focus on gfx, ram & HDD (yes, a good hdd is important).

Unless, of course, you play a lot of cpu focused games and/or render stuff? Also ATI are by far less expensive than NVIDIA without losing perfomance very much if not not at all.

I ordered it already. Also, I began the process of making YouTube videos, I intend to do a ton of rendering, hence my choice. As for nVidia vs ATI, the card I got was actually cheaper than the equivalent ATI counterpart.
