Wait for piledriver. Anything before that is meh and Phenom II is still the best they've released. See if you can nail a 960T. A 955 or 965 or 960T won't bottlneck the card.

Thanks,but man im still thinking this 6 core FX would be a good upgrade,since it so cheap,and maybe oc's somewhat,and hell maybe it works well with my AM3+ ?
What im aafraid of is actually getting similar or lower perf ? or god forbid be forced to use Windows 8 for proper perf with this buldozer .

Go for SB, i5-2500k.
A good and solid cpu still. (or if you feel like it, take the IB version).
But don't go wait for something if you don't even know how they are going to perform (especially after AMD's last fiasco, i would DEFO not wait).
But with the SB you KNOW that it will perform solid for the things you want.

There's been some engineering samples of pildriver released and they were surprisingly impressive. Ill post the benchmarks when I get to a computet

So did they had for Bulldozer and how it was going to crush intel their SB.
But yeah, if you like to hold on to promises that have been broken before by the same company, then go ahead...

Typical Intel hoora on the humps. He asked for AMD, he's getting AMD answers. Then you come in INTEL INTEL INTEL just like everyone on here does. Can't answer his question then you aren't invited to answer him.

No i'm just giving him my personal feedback.
And what makes you think that i'm a typical intel fanboy?
All my life i had AMD cpu's, this 2600k is my FIRST intel EVER.
So ~6 AMD cpu's that i had vs 1 Intel.
So when i say that i don't trust the power AMD has anymore, i KNOW what i'm talking about.
But prejudging is easy done eh

I upgraded from a AMD Phenom x4 9550BE to a AMD Phenom II x4 955BE for the same price as i upgraded last year from the Phenom II 955BE to the i7-2600k.
The prev upgrade was NOT worth the money at all, i barely noticed any difference at all, can't say that about my last upgrade.
But w/e, if you think that i'm an intel fanboy even tho i have had AMD all my life (even with the vidcards) then go ahead, ill laugh you straight in the face.

You're in a different country. You won't be laughing in my face anytime soon. You can send me a PM though and laugh.

Anyway i see that the 6300 variant will be 95 W,perfect for me.
Will wait,thanks 
PS : how do you guys reckon AMD will price those cores at launch , to prepare my wallet  |
AMD has never really priced their stuff too high. I would assume none of them go over the 200 dollar mark. I paid like 120 for my 965 when it was new which was probably the best value I've ever gotten out of a CPU, this thing still runs everything possible and I can OC it to almost 4ghz to get more juice out of it if needed. |

lol ouch. Ya that is one of the top sides to living in the US. We get PC hardware cheaper than almost anywhere else. I think it was sIn that was going to have my buy all this computer here and ship it over to him and even with shipping costs it would have still been cheaper. |

Did I get that article right?
Is piledriver going to be AM3+ compatible?
Hmmm, are they still going with that modules BS instead of actual cores?

NO U! T_T
Also, it seems that the thread SpykeZ posted is a bit dubious. Some say it's not piledriver but a "tweaked" bulldozer while others say the opposite. So if it's not the real deal then perhaps PD might be even better than previously thought.

Well if AMD can pull it off with Bulldozer as they did with the Phenom when they made the Phenom II then the new should be fine indeed.
But i still hesitate to say that this is going to be the case, as AMD clearly stated that they didn't really bother with the PC market anymore and they were going to focus on mobile cpu's instead. http://news.softpedia.com/news/AMD-Not-Competing-With-Intel-Anymore-Goes-Mobile-237103.shtml
Btw spykez, http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1673186#1673186
Even a year ago, i said the same that should had made you known that i'm no fanboy

Well, I for one won't be switching to Intel anytime soon since I recently just bought a new mobo for the am3+ so I'm just hoping I can switch out my 970 for something better. ^_^

I have serious doubts about piledriver. So many of the best people @ AMD left when they cut half the size of the performance CPU division to put all efforts into APU's/Fusion.

Fanboy or not, its clear these days that AMD processors aint option for anything, unless you overclock them to 10Ghz and play heavy threaded benchmarks. If you have Phenom II keep it, since you are not gonna get any more performance from AMD.
