AMD makes great, no, I mean excellent CPUs for the cost (no doubt in my mind), I can give you that. But the extra edge in performance will have to come from Intel's new Core 2 Duo and the Core 2 Quad with the Core 2 Quad being my favorite CPU thus far for gaming.
I'm waiting patiently for the new Penryn's and Phenom's to make a comparison. So exciting. OMG, I sound like a geek for saying that. I'd say hold off now on the build because new stuff are coming up ever so close. I hate having to build a nice machine and a few months later, the new CPUs, motherboards, GPU come out. Then we're like, "Awww man. I just got this for xxx amount of dollars and now this comes out?"
The only bad thing is the newer stuff will be expensive compared to the top of the line performance you can get now.
