[QUOTE="Hades., post: 1485031, member: 38183"] If in the future he would like to overhaul his rig he atleast would have options... Where as FM1 socket would last only a year... And IMO AM3+ socket would live for more than two years until AMD decides to release a new socket... Not loads of features... Just the power saving features and Turbo Core 2.0 features wouldn't be compatible with 880G motherboards... IMO 880G would support bulldozer processor power saving features but not the new ones... And to lessen the shortcoming of Turbocore 2.0 feature he can overclock the CPU... See if he would do normal work the CPU wouldn't even kick out of C1E/C3 mode... And as HD5670 takes power from the PCI-E slot i hardly think that it would consume more power and you are missing the part that how much powerful HD5670 is as compared to 6550D so even if it consumes slightly more power than A8 3850 then its totally worth it... AFAIK OP is not building an HTPC rig (low power consuming rig) and the rig that i have suggested wouldn't consume huge power either just couple of 10 to 12 watts more on full load (not in idle)... Now i think we should let him to decide that whether he wants to build a rig which consumes slightly lesser power or wants to build a more powerful rig which costs the same and which has future and consumes slightly more power...
