Yeah , i ' ve been wanting to switch to Intel for a few months now , I live in Mexico and it gets really hot on summers , that and the fact that FX cpu ' s are very power hungry doesnt help at all , but I got the FX 8350 for free less than 2 months ago and my 3 year old motherboard died a week ago , I can ' t really afford to get a new Intel socket mobo and a new processor now but maybe next year i ' ll do the switch , and keep the actual pc as a backup pc , but for now I ' ve to settle for one of those two . Being honest I already bought the Asus 970 , just wanted to know if I went with the lesser of two evils . <| sep |> I think ISS has a shortwave radio , so no need to travel to NASA . And I think there is always an escape capsule on the ISS that can get them back to earth .
