AMD Advice needed

I have always wanted to build a computer from scratch, and have pretty much done it a couple of times now by moving parts between cases and computers, just never with new hardware. I wanted to get a new Mobo and processor (currently have Celeron D 330 and a crappy mobo) I know AMD is better than Intel for gaming, but I do not have any experience with AMD and which chip is good for what. I want to keep the price for the processor below $300. Is it possible to get a decent AMD processor for that price? or am I just hopeing for to much?

decent amd cpu for 300$ hells ya.

I know this ism't what you asked, but I would push 47 dollars more and get a dual core.

 

[ryodoan]

ok, I really dont know much about AMD chips, what would be some examples of AMD chips for that price area?

This thread is going to be locked so quick!

I am new to the forums but in my overview of the Hardware posting rules and the general forum rules I did not see anything against asking for advice on what processor to buy.

I am sorry if I broke the rules and if this thread must be locked then I suppose I can go somewhere else for advice.

Look at my sig for a link for AMD vs Intel. That topic has been killed here. Search. There is a ton of information here.

I suppose I should change the title name, it is not really AMD vs. Intel, but more of a request for advice in choosing an AMD processor

 

[duckey]

Yes indeed, do change the name as Shawn was most likely miss informed and was quick to post before the lock happened. But I thought dual-core was a Intel thing and not only that he would have to get a new mobo unless he has a dual-core mobo just sitting around the house.

I have to get a new mobo anyhow, so I figured I should find out what processor I want first, and then pick a mobo that fits the processor.
