What is wrong with it? If you watch from neutral point of view only thing that ati is having worse than nvidia is bit more trouble with drivers( still the problems are very specialized and unlikely to be hit into ), apart from that ati is leading if your not looking at very high end.

Yeah I don't think I will spend an extra 50+ for a 570.
Thanks again for all the help!

Ok so I went to order the PC today but they don't have the motherboard or processor (new version is out and they aren't getting anymore in).
I've looked at some benchmarks and the i5 3550 seems like a good way to go? I'm not really sure.
As for motherboards, I really have no idea. The dude said the GB H/Z77 are the new models and going by price, the Z77MX-D3H appears to be the best one. Can you guys recomomend one similar to the one I listed earlier from the price list in the first post?
[MAF]Karlis:
all 3xxx series that are not 39xx are Ivy Bridge, the new ones.
In case you want to overclock, pick Sandy Bridge (2xxx) for sure.
If you're not going to overclock it:
2500K is still best performance/price and much lower temperature, but 3xxx series have lower power consumption, +5-9% performance, and support for higher ram speeds, native USB 3.0 and pci-e 3.0, much faster QuickSync, and 60-100% faster integrated graphics ( not that its important for you i guess ).
I think you should watch at other shops, because intel haven't stopped production of 2500K as of now, and they should still be in the shops.
For the motherboard, if you're getting the 3xxx series, check this table and pick one that has all features that you need:
If not, then same motherboard type as you originally planned.
All depends on your needs.
EDIT:
watched some specs, if your going with 3xxx series, i5-3550 is indeed a good deal, but it might be worth it going for i5-3570K, as its +100mhz and unlocked just for ~+15$. moderate overclock could still be aplied (+~300mhz) easily, if having a decent air cooler. As long as overclock didn't burn the cpu (impossible with these clocks), warranty shouldn't be voided, but need jalicano's word on this tho.
from old series 2500K remains best usually, but 100mhz for 10$ ( i5-2550K) is still worth considering, if you're out of the overclocking.
