I would go with intel just because am intel fanboy.

I would comment about AMD but i never used AMD. But I did hear that Amd is good for price like there cpu quad are just under $220 and overclock amazingly well compared to the intel q6600. And there 3870 PCI card is just under $150. So that's some bang for the buck.

Yea I got my Quad @ 3.5Ghz With 1.4 Voltage
