Thanks

looking at the parts shown there i would guess its a semi-decent-gaming rig... If so, can you justify the choice of AMD over intel?

Other stuff looks ok, decent ram and graphics card

I have never tried AMD and that is a lot cheaper to have the performance just under an E6600(stock).

Thats looks like a nice build, how about a Sata model burner?

Any reason why?

They aren't any faster, yet.

Yeah, but no big bulky cables and jumpers

I would go with the corsair 520w since the price increased and adding the shipping it would be nearly the same as the corsair 520w

Very decent.
Not too sure about that graphics card though..

I might but he's on a $900 budget for computer, monitor, and input devices.

AMD was also proven to be better frame-by-frame in gaming over Intel...
And is equal to Intel right now with its 6000+ in every other aspect.

Wrong!! Core 2 Line is stomping everything AMD has in it's bag.... E6850 is gonna rape everything AMD has, as the X6800 is doing now.

Right, i think AMD will be coming out with more 65nm cpu's soon? That might help their overclocking abilities.

They'll come out eventually but by the time they do intel will have this equals, plus a better price tag probably

Yeah, i think they have a few "brisbane" chips that are 65nm.

Penryn, according to my insider, is supposed to be a pretty good OC'er. It is 45nm, in your face AMD!!

looks pretty good
