1st Build Graphics Card Suggestions

What's this Latin you are quoting at us ?  Are you trying to say that you are a member of the "Order of the Garter" or just using their motto ?

I really don't think there is much to choose between the two platforms now. If you really need the ultimate power house then probably go with Intel but as at the moment hardware is driving the software forward either will do just about anything you can throw at it and then some. I would say personal preferrence and size of wallet to be honest.

Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense is indeed the latin motto for the order of the garter, but I just like its meaning .... Roughly translated into english it means

'Evil Be To Him Who Evil Thinks'.

At the moment I am thinking Intel for my next build, I don't need a power house, am thinking of a good multimedia machine, I'm still not into gaming.
But by the time it comes round buying the parts for another build, I may have changed my mind because of a special offer on an AMD mobo or processor. I just feel like having a go at an Intel at the mo, probs just to balance the builds up 1xAMD & 1xIntel.

That makes the most sense really. Just make the decision on what is around for what price at the time you want to make the purchases. As you know things can change so fast in this field that it isn't worth making any decisions ahead of time.
