At the moment generally speaking Intel have faster chips and AMD have a better upgrade path, will this change... sure it will. It will be all different in a year so being an AMD fanboy or an Intel fanboy is a bit pointless and the same goes for GFX cards.Yea, though the 2nd gen chips from intel are much better than any chip available with AMD right now.as for GPU's, i try to get nVidia if intel is the CPU, or ATI if AMD is the CPU... Both (mainly ATI) are designed to run better with the relevant cpu

I've got the 955 like yourself Limey. Here's mine:AMD Phenom II X 4 955 Black Edition, overclocked to 3.60 ghz
_V3L0C1R4PT0R_nice rig... what temps does your GTX570 have while gaming? do you have stock cooler on it?Im not sure to be honest. How do i check this? (i know im rather stupid )LimeyI thought the black edition was 965? I originally thought mine was the black edition, but then i assumed i was mistaken.. so if there is a 955 black edition.. then i guess i have it xDYeah, i just checked on the invoice for the computer and its definately states '955 black edition', unless they've made a mistake, which is possible.
hehe i got the Amd phenom II x4 955 black edition, and my puter is running with a steady 20-23 C'The graphix card (nViDiA Gtx 465 LE) on the other hand is sometimes up on a wopping 45C'

QuoteIm not sure to be honest. How do i check this? (i know im rather stupid )all you need is to download GPU-Z from TechPowerUp website... run it while gaming and it shows you current temps
