AMD FX-9590 costs 920 USD
Last week AMD released its first 5 GHz 8-core CPUs. The two products just showed up in a webshop with the tier 1 SKY having an astronomical price (for what it is). The AMD FX-9370 8C is listed at 346 USD and the AMD FX-9590 8C costs a whopping 920 USD. The new 5 GHz FX-9590 and 4.7 GHz FX-9370 feature the “Piledriver” architecture, are unlocked for easy overclocking and pave the way for enthusiasts to enjoy higher CPU speeds and related performance gains.
The new AMD FX CPUs will be available from system integrators globally beginning this summer. Two models will be available:
- FX-9590: Eight “Piledriver” cores, 5 GHz Max Turbo
- FX-9370: Eight “Piledriver” cores, 4.7 GHz Max Turbo
Check out the webshop here. I do want to make it clear that these could be highly inflated pre-order prices, in the past we have seen webshops do this often as there are always a few people placing a pre-order.

I only have a mountain bike right now and it's a killer on the road. That Butler one looks pretty good for the money. If you did want to go with a hybrid for the versatility, this one looks good:

£300 is not expensive to you?
wow.
I would not spend no more than £100-£150 on a new bike if I was going to use it everyday.
But I have a motorbike that i spent £600 buying so cant talk really lol :p

Are Giant bikes avalible in the UK as I can assure you of their quality and decent price although I prefer fixed gear not 10 speed.

Apparently £300 for a road bike is cheap, but good for entry level.
Giant is available, but they are quite expensive, starting from about £500. I could get finance but thats a pain!

For £300 your probably going to end up with a steel frame and crappier derailers/crankset. I'd say motobecane but they are higher priced as well. You could always get ahold of an old frame from a garage sale and put your own derailers, crankset, gearset, and wheels on it.

Don't look too bad at all for the money if it turns out to be a good frame you can always up grade key parts. I've got a Giant Bowrey myself and have the seat post, fork, and replaced the "bull-horns" with a 1 inch riser bar all carbon and that made the ride alot mor comfortable.

Do you work at a company on a cycle to work scheme? It is worth checking out.
Giant have their own official shops in a few towns nationwide. I had to catch a train to Liverpool from Manchester to pick mine up on a cycle to work scheme.
And if you want to get your music on then buy yourself a Minoura extender bracket and stick a couple of X-Mini speakers on it. Connect it to your mobile phone and you'll have ten hours of charge by a USB cable. I love my bike. And you should too. Give Halfords and every other mainstream retailer a wide berth to find the bike that does YOU proud.
And yes, it's on stilts. There is a handlebar extender bracket because I am six foot four. And frame sizes nowadays are made for the average sized guy and I mean no offence. Kind of like airplane seating. Also that is a 120db air horn on the handlebars. Cycling into and around a city centre can sometimes be hard so give as good as you get. Only £27 and worth every penny.

^Looks like you got a medium frame should have gone for the large frame as I did (I'm only 6' but have long arms and legs 6'4" wingspan) you may have had to special order that though.
This is my baby haven't had a chance to go riding in a while. Can't ride to work as it's 18 miles to work and I'm not biking over one of the longest suspension bridges in the world with the drivers we have in Florida.

hmm, i only have a hybrid for urban assault and a Mountain bike (cross country) for trails and mountain climbs, both are cheap lelz. I think those would do if you only do moderate cycling.
