Read reviews before you put it in your shopping cart so you know how reliable it is. From what I've been reading, bulldozer is probably going to compete with Sandy Bridge, but not beat it.
1) okorder /.. Also that motherboard has 3 PCI-E 2.0 x16 slots.
they were pushed again to the twelfth of October regrettably ivy bridge will be above the sandy bridge processors. six and eight center varities. this actually skill they are going to all be priced above a 2600k. they are their to change the xeon cores and are going to be extremely strong yet not extremely for gaming. EDIT: to sparkling up the argument from the folk above and below me. no the bulldozer processors are literally not APUs they are CPUs notwithstanding it became the bulldozer FX 8170 that became overclocked to eight.4ghz (now not being released as they could get sufficient % of the 8 center cpus to run strong at 3.8ghz for it to be properly worth their time) yet between those that did managed to get to eight.4ghz with liquid helium. not some twin center garbage this became an entire 8 center processor.
intel i5 2500k owns. phenom delayed because it's underperforming, don't expect it to catch intel. again they are going with the more cores is better route instead of pure single threaded , double threaded apps.
If your adamant on going AMD then yes wait for bulldozer Release is set for august or september (It was supposed to be june but there were issues) Yes AM3 cpu's will be compatible with AM3+ motherboards I wont suggest a AM3+ motherboard as the current motherboards available are not true AM3+ motherboards as they use the 800 series chipset and only the upcoming 900 series chipset give true support for all the features of the bulldozer chip. Edit: Just noticed there are some 900 series chipset motherboards released so if you intend to get an AM3+ motherboard make sure it has a 900 series chipset as they were designed specifically for the upcoming AM3+ cpu's
