    Wait for intel sandy bridge.
    From what I've heard it will be 10x times better that Bulldozer.

    12 GB Ram ? ... 6 or 8GB 1600mhz is enough.

    Apparently its crap for gaming so you may as well get a Phenom II x4 or x6 or an i5 imo.
    If you need me you have my skype, if you don't have my skype then you don't need me.

    Skip upgrading your gfx card, I have a 4890 and they are really good. Also get sandybridge as someone suggested. With a i5 2500k.
    Molested myself and got convicted.
