Is there any benefit of choosing AMD FX Cpu over Intel Core i7 extreme Cpu ?? I'm also thinking of building a new rig

The price. i7 Extreme is about 10 times more expensive.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. They work by installing the hardware, then install the software, then connect a coax cable and/or antenna to them and you watch/record tv. Basically the only reason I want one is to use it as a dvr. I'd rather spend $80-100 than pay XX per month to rent a dvr from the cable company

Tweaks made, firmware updated and it's never given me an issue. But when I first got it there was bad firmware loaded. Caused random bsod. Was a major problem with the SF controllers.

Yea, this was what I was trying to figure out. My TV Tuner never worked, and I sort of gave up on it.

I was given an MSI TV tuner that worked ok before. But if I had to choose I'd buy Hauppage brand tuners. Best rated tuner cards on the market right now.
