Well me and about a million other people on this forum will tell you to go Intel.

I'd recommend this power supply over yours:

Get Intel Q6600 processor as it is better
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115017

Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138122

video card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814186039

If you want a motherboard with onboard graphics, then you should get one of the new G43 motherboards
