    if you arent prepared to grab a 2500k from intel you may as well just stick with a 955 imo.

    As far as AMD goes; Unless you've got the strange glitch that sometimes occurs with AMD Dual-Core Optimizer (Might be me being weird, I've not confirmed this): The two extra cores on the 1090t won't make any difference. That said; if you've already got the 1090t; There's no-point downgrading, just in case you do come across a game that can utilize the two extra cores.

    Stick with the 1090T. My wife has one, and she's completely content with it.

    For gaming a 955 is fine.

    i used one previously...it was fine. But CPU intensive games really like OC'd 2500's at least :) There is a difference to the feel.
