Deciding on either a new lens or a computer update and saw the new CPU from AMD. It's a Bulldozer FX-8350 8 core 4GHz processor which I should be able to overclock to about 4.4-4.5GHz with no problems. Also ordered an Asus M5A99X EVO 990X to put it in.

Should be a bit of an update from my Quad core 3.4GHz AMD processor that has served me very well for the last year or so. Can't wait to get building it on monday. :D
 
A decent pair you've bought there Stuart I'm sure you will notice a difference.
I built the exact same combo for a friend about 6 weeks before Christmas and he's delighted with it, well it must be 'cos he hasn't phoned me back yet.
A very decent CPU this time from AMD and at a reasonable price. It's still not quite up to Intel in straight line speed but it can certainly hold it's head high when it comes to multitasking.
I only had a weekend to play about with it but I was quite pleased with the performance and stability of this pair.
 
Bulldozer sucks with memory performance, but 8 cores will be useful in photohsop.
