I've been out of the pc hardware loop for awhile. Maybe a little after the Phenom x6 came out. I'm gonna upgrade around the time Skyrim, BF3 and all the other great games are coming out for sure, but I kind of want to get some new stuff now. I've had the same stuff for over a year, and everything I have feels old. Duke Nukem, Crysis 2, Rift, are just a few games coming out soon that I'm getting.
I want to get a new CPU and board for sure, because I want to overclock again. My ECS board can't overclock well at all(I got it for 50$ with some ram, so judge me) and I'm going to put my X3 720 and the ram I'm using now into another machine. I looked on newegg and the X6 1090T and a 890FX popped out at me. But what does intel have that's good? I never cared for them, but I did have fun overclocking my old E7200(thing was a beast) so I want to know what they have going on, too.
The only thing I do that's slightly intensive is game. I don't benchmark much, just to see how much faster my stuff gets when I overclock. I'd like to keep the CPU at around 200$ so I can get a decent board and ram. I won't be buying for a month or so, so if anything good is coming out, I want to know.
I would suggest waiting for the next-gen CPUs to drop before upgrading. I had an i5 2500k for a few weeks before the recall and it was a beast, had it at 5GHz and could have even got more out of it. If it is still the same price when it is re-introduced, you should be able to pick one up for around $215. As far as Bulldozer... AMD still hasn't given us a release date, but I expect it to drop around the time Intel re-releases the SB hardware. So I wouldn't buy and parts until the new stuff comes out. Wouldn't want to have an outdated system a month after you buy it! :P
First off welcome
the 1090t 890fx combo is great. Took me two seconds to get 4ghz out of it. A sandy bridge rig is also looking good for an upgrade. They finally restocked the fixed p67 chips. Bulldozer should hit soon. Not nessecarily in a month, but eventually.
As for gaming, battlefield 3, skyrim, as you said crysis 2 and rift, theres alot of great upcoming games. not to mention bulletstorm is fucking awesome.
For gaming the 720 runs everything just fine and probably still will for a while, but if your going to upgrade waiting for bulldozer is probably the best thing to do.
Keep in mind too that Intel is going to be coming out with 2011 sockets near the end of this year. You might just want to go with sandybridge though when it re-releases.
