I just recently upgraded my "bull dozer" 1090T (1st gen 6-core) to the 1800x, and its absolutely amazing. I multi-task ALOT.. I needed something that could keep up with me, rather than being king of only running ONE task (*cough, Cough* 7700k) - But I am kicking myself in the ass over two things on my build...
#1 - Not waiting for the 1950x (game mode would have made it better than the 1800x)
#2 - buying 2 1080 ti's ... I get over 150fps on most games at max detail with one card while live streaming 1080p60FPS.. And I cannot use the second card in SLI yet until I finish my custom loop. So its baking on the bottom PCI-E slot mining eth (haters gunna hate).
I have had both Intel and AMD processors, Intel use to be the king of gaming cpus's, but now I see it really only being king of one thing - Over priced =P
