the intel one is pretty future proof, he could always upgrade to a wolfy or quad later on. he could also use SLI. which is good b/c he has an 8800GT right now.
the AMD on is good b/c he could upgrade to a phenom later if they ever fix them. But only 1 nvidia card. He's sticking with nvidia, so no hopes for crossfire. But the 6400BE is just badass hehe.
so what do you guys think? out of those two i told him get the intel one. it has more pros. But he really likes AMD.
