future amd workstation build ideas

[katiekitsune]

so im thinking about building an amd based workstation with the firepro gpu's and i need some suggestions on the right amd cpu/apu to use with them to get the most power without sacrificing too much bang for buck.

What is this workstation for and honestly the only cpu that has computational power near intels is the 9590 and thats not cheap/efficient. AMD cpus are usually quite a bit slower unless the program(s) in question do make use of all the cores.
Or you could get opterons, but they're not that great for render work I think.
