Phenom II X6 1090T gaming rigs

Three major gaming rig manufacturers have revealed new machines, just a day after the release of the new “Elite Visual Computing” platform from AMD, which combines the Phenom II X6 1090T processor with a 890FX motherboard and ATI Radeon HD 5000 series graphics.

Maingear, iBuyPower and CyberPower have all designed gaming machines based on the new platform, and keeping in tune with AMD’s price vs performance ethic, have attached inexpensive price tags to them, all of which start at under $1000. Various customizable options are available from all three manufacturers. To give you an idea however, check out the specs of the $1299 Limited Edition Vybe from Maingear, which features an 890GX motherboard: ATI Radeon HD 5830, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, 6GB DDR3 RAM, 640GB WD SATA 6G HDD, DVD burner, and more.
