I am buying my pc.

amd are dropping their prices so much u can get a dual core from them for $95 bucks now. AMD and Intel are nto comparible in my opion. They are both designed very different in their cores. Intel have longer rods which are better for ps and video editing and then amd has shorter rods which is better for gaming.

AMD always seem to offer a better deal than Intel. I've used AMD processors for so long now it's probably become ingrained for me to buy AMD though.

Like you said the current AMD and Intel offerings are very different.

I don't think you can complain when AMD offer a Dual Core for $95 though.

ok here is what i was going to buy.
