Finalizing a Build

@maroon1: thanks for that data info, that convinced me to switch from AMD to intel.

As such I've switched everything up, and greatly appreciate your opinions and advice.
I've switched over to an Intel core 2 duo E8300
For the mobo I'm looking at a microstar P6N SLI platinum. Picking out a mobo is probably where I would be worst at though >_>
For a single video card right now I'm leaning toward the Nvidia 8800 GTS 512Mb

But like I said, I would like your opinions on this though for compatability and limiting of bottlenecks.

I have not seen any SOLID evidence that Intel are better at game performance than AMD, plus end of the day, it's mainly down to graphics card/s than CPU/s as intel and AMD have similar performing chips anyway.

still......each to their own.

intel ending up winning

Intel is better for what the OP will be doing
