Ok is if you know the pc in my sig is mess up and I have been thinking of bulding another one. Now this time I have spent even more time in to what I want to build. I want to either go AMD or Intel. If I go Intel I would go with the I7 just because it is new and maybe want need to upgrade as fast. After reading alittle and playing around with different build on newegg and reading post from www.overclockersclub.com I and still undecided and was wanting a little help if possible. The I7 build would be

Now the AMD build would be cheaper as everyone would know but that is not what and am wanting I am wanting. I am willing to spend the money for the I7 if it has the better performance over cost, if that makes since.

I didn't mean just the boards, I meant as far a performance and less I would have to upgrade between the two.

It depends on how much you want to spend.
Core i7 is better than AMD Phenom II. But it is more expensive.

On the other hand, I am not sure if the Phenom II x4 940 is provide best value, as I read this article a moment ago.
