Title pretty much sums it up. I can get either an AM3 or an x58 platform. My main goal is HWBot points. I will be benching with DICE and maybe LN2 later on.

For the i7 920 I was considering:
Core i7 920
Rampage III Extreme
3x2GB DDR3 G. Skill Trident 2000MHz

For the 1090T I was thinking:
AMD Phenom II 1090T
Crosshair IV Formula (or extreme when that comes along)
2x2GB DDR3 G. Skill PIS 2400MHz

Budget is roughly U$900, but I can flex a little bit if the performance gain is significant.

I was thinking the AMD would be nice for Hardware points since I can play with 3D and compete against other AMD's in 2D, but I wouldn't be able to get any 2D global points. With AMD it would also be easier to switch processors since theirs are cheaper.

As for Intel it would be better for global ranks, but I may have trouble getting Hardware points. I would not be able to switch processors too much, but I'd compete pretty nicely in 2D ranks and 3D also.

All feedback is appreciated!
