Intels are king but expensive, AMD are 80% as good, but 70% cheaper.
That about sums it up from what I have read. Both work well, Intel is the Cadaliac AMD the Chevvy - both will get you down the road
Next I have to pick a Mother board if the Processor, AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb, is a good choice.
I am partial to ASUS and Gibabyte
Any suggestions ?
Also is the heatsink/fan as bad on the AMD as it seems ?
