I've got a decent P4 rig, and I'd like to build a comparable AMD rig just for giggles. Would like to see what all the talk about the AMD is about.
Here's the P4 rig:
Board:

CPU:

Ram:

I'm replacing my video card with this one, next week:

I'm going to put in a SATA HD. This one:

The cooler:

I want to build an AMD rig thats as close to this in performance as possible. I don't want to overclock it to make it run with the P4. These both need to run in stock configuration. WHY? Casue I'm a newbie and I DON'T know anything about overclocking. Ain't gonna do it. So, the AMD CPU needs to be comparable to the P4 3.0ghz unit.
I really don't know anything about AMD. I read stuff, but I wouldn't know where to begin building a machine to match what I have.
Little help?
