you know high price and good product line isn't always mean better, the athlon II X3 425 processor is actually really good,its so good its almost as good as the phenom II X3 720 Black Edition now that is a big shock isn't it? consider they have like maybe 40euro difference or something.
heres the benchmarks of games from the 425:

As you can see it actually came close to the 710(lower version of 720 lol) but i can bet you it is as good as the 720 and its cheaper.
Best bang of the buck triple core CPU you can buy.
SLI/Crossfire isn't always all that you don't really need it if your only going use it for gaming.
Right, and here that CPU is at 65 €... But what will it unlock to? I mean, I might be trowing my hands in fire, but I was buying that phenom 2 x2 because it could very likely turn into a x4. I'd actually be getting a high-end cpu. Now I do understand it's pushing luck at the draw, but still..
Yes, it's a good processor, no doubt. And when O'ced, oh yeah xD But to OC that processor I'd have to buy a good mobo, like the one I've already picked. I don't think a much cheaper motherboard would be able to OC that processor to its limits (since it's not a BE).
Maybe. But just to think that with the 5850 prices falling after the launch of fermi I could double my performance with just more 140€... But yeah, you're right, maybe I don't really need to keep CF as an option.
