my first 2 systems were amds and they were rock solid. love amds price to performance ratio and yes like said before they do rule in games. but also as stated above i also do alot of video editing and such so the system i am running right now is an intel. i also got a sick deal on some of the parts so i couldnt pass it up. however when i build a pc for someone that just wants the all around kick ass computer and doesnt wanna sell their soul to get it......because i do take souls as well as cash
....i always recomend amd.

Intel 530J 3ghz (waiting on aquagate mini to oc)
