So much for AM3+... the announcement was just made that AM3+ will require a totally new motherboard.
Torn into two between choosing an AMD X6 1090T build and an Intel i7 930 build after AMD's Bulldozer announcement.
I will also be shipping my own OS and secondary HDD(SATA III 1TB) as they're much cheaper back East.
UPDATED SPEC V2!
My budget's roughly between £1200-1300
I won't be back for another two weeks so it's still a consideration as to what the final specs will look like right now.
