Well, Im doing my first pc build and I have a fairly easy buthard question?

Should i Do

Intel w/ Nvidia
Or
AMD w/ ATI

The reason i am asking this is because im ona budjet of 500$ for Mobo, cpu, gpu, psu. And i really want as much power and I possibly Can.

AMD is your best choice with that kind of budget for dual core processor, if you don't mind single core then intel

Why not Intel W/ Ati?
Or
AMD with Nvidia?

ATM intel are leading the market with the Intel Quad Core. The Nvidia 8800 and the ati 2900 cards are in competition.

I built this PC in my signiture for under $600 dollars AUD which was also case, burner etc.
To suit your budget make sure to find the neccasary parts in which your using the PC for.

No 945's, get the G33 or 965P...

the 945's are really crappy chip sets IMO. Why not get that "black edition" athlon thats on new egg. it's a real good chip and fairly inexpensive.
I'd say go Intel, but it seems like until the 45nm come out AMD chips are prices far more competitively. Either way you win the core 2 duo's are really good chips and so are the athlons.

I would say your going to get more performance with AMD at the moment, the 5600+ coming in at the same price of $139 and will outperform the E4300 (the 5600+ is on par with the E6550 @ stock speeds). Why don't you get AMD/nVidia at that budget?
