I am fixing to build a new mid-level gaming rig and had a question on the processor. I know for a fact that it will be an AMD but I am torn on which one. I am kind of wanting the new 6-core but I was wondering how the quad cores stacked up against it? Is there any discernible difference between the two as far as non-multi thread games?

I used to have AMD, but jumped ship to intel for a 920. Since dumping all that money into this system.
I used this site to decide on the 920 as it stacked up to others, without knowing which one you want, a good site to look is www.anandtech.com .

is one with pretty pictures that show how it stacks up to the competition.

There also aren't all that many multi-threaded games yet, but that list is only going to get bigger.
