Glad to have these back, it wasn't like it was a good sign that these got nuked before.

Overall good guides ..now and then i detected a hint of bias ..leaning towards AMD over intel/Nvidia.. but only now and then and overall seemed well balanced.
Well, tbh, he does have a preference for AMD over Intel but for ethical reasons. On the other hand I've seen him be pretty fair about Intel products, though - it's not the products he has an issue with, it's the company itself. I tend to agree somewhat, I've felt that Intel was like a Jr division of Microsoft for 15 years now, personally. Do they make good chips? Aye, that cannot be denied, and in this regard they're different from MicroShaft. However some of their practices and tendencies are less than honorable.

GPU wise u might want to look at the 7870XT (Tahiti LE). Its as good as a 660ti in many casses and is priced very well at around $250.
Tahiti LEs are rare, but I plan to buy one as soon as I have money intersect with them being in stock. Current models using this chip are:
Sapphire 7870XT (only Tahiti LE with dual fans)
PowerColor 7870 Myst
Club 3D 7870 Poker Series Joker Card
