Quote - I never recommend Intel.  AMD paired with a good AATI video card works better, is no hassle whatsoever and costs a bit less.  Intels are just not worth what you pay for them.  And the 790GX series chipsets are great.

And, as an added bonus, with an AMD proc, you can put your cup of coffee on top of your computer and it stays nice and warm - just be careful it doesn't boil.

Seriously, I tried AMD on my DVR machine and had to go back to Intel / Asus.  The AMD machine went off line almost daily.  The Intel stays up for weeks on end, without restart.
