AMD is the redneck's pick here.

Intel is overrated, they jus' advertise more.

If you are going to blow the cash, blow it big.
How often do you get new computers? Not often. Don't have regrets.
My 'puter is good, but i wish i had spent the extra cash and got more power. Regrets, cuz', thems there is regrets.

Just don't order from Dell, Gateway, or those companies.
They mark up the prices, and you end up with more money
tied up in lower end hardware. Plus they sneak in all that junk software.

'Build it and they will come.'

Check around with the local computer folks. Sometimes you can keep
somethings, like cd burners, hard drives, or anything like that from your old computer, and put it in a new tower. Doing this will leave extra funds for
other things you want, like top end graphics cards, sound cards, or surround
speakers. I traded in my old one with a local computer dude, he built my new one, using some of the things I had upgraded in my old one. He gave me $200 for the old tower, and for $350 I got a new setup. AMD 1800+ (1.533ghz) 512 ddr, 40 gig hard drive, new tower and power supply. I kept my burner, graphics card, speakers, and monitor. 'Zillah chipped in the operating system, Windows XP Professional. Works real good too, no problems. That was a year ago.

Good luck, but remember, no matter how powerful your new system is,................

I'll still bash you!!!!!!
