Do I go AMD or Intel?

If I'm not mistaken the 5600+ X2 is slightly better than the e6300.
Personally I'd go for the AMD build, it's a little bit faster for the price and I'm an AMD fanboy anyways (don't ask why I have an Intel proc lol).

if the systems aren't being overclocked then go with the AMD, it will perform better and you can help the underdogs

At stock 5600+ is much faster than E6300. I think 5600+ is on par with E6420 at stock, but intel are better overclockers

Intel, im a AMD fanboy but at the moment thers nothing to out do Intels C2D's at the moment

Almost verbatim what I was going to say. I've got three AMDs and one Intel box in the house, atm. The Intel box is the newest.
