RE: Your PC Gaming specs

PC Spec - AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 4Ghz, Asus Crosshair V Mobo, 8Gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3, 64Gb Crucial SSD, 500Gb Samsung Spinpoint F1, ATi Radeon 6950 2Gb, Asus D2X, Corsair H80 Water Cooling Loop.

I can't make up my mind what to do at the mo.  I upgraded my motherboard to the Crosshair V last November with the intention of getting an FX chip when they came out but since the underwhelming launch I'm harbouring thoughts of switching to Intel (for the first time since my first PC 15yrs ago!).

The 2nd generation FX chips should be emerging withing the next 3-4 months, just in time for my Open University grant, so i'll probably make my decision then.

(check out my system thread, linked below for more info/pic)
