i5 based systems are fairly cheap.

Not compared to the price/performance of AMD.

I know you're and intel fanboy. I will not bow down to your ways!

Sometimes Intel is a better deal on price/performance. You just gotta look around and you might get lucky.
For example, before I was getting my E7200, it was either a E7200 for $100 or a Athlon 64 X2 6000+ for $110. Looking at benchmarks, the E7200 wins in most.

EDIT - My local Micro Center seems to be selling an i5 760 for $170, which is $10 more than the Phenom II X4 965. The benches between them are close.

Oh, when you're down to that level, you are correct. When I got both my old E6420 and my E8400, Intel was on top of the price/performance market--or at least even. But now, things have swung in AMDs favor. In the particular latter part of your post, I would still go with the AMD. I find that you can get a better board, cheaper compared to an Intel System. And to be honest, I will need more than 6GB of RAM for my next build, but I don't need 12GB (thinking 8GB ATM)...another reason why the Intel tri-channel stuff ticks me off. But, meh. I wish i7's were cheaper or I would consider them again. They'll get there.

well if your using a hdtv ready tv, sometimes if you let it auto search for channels under antenna, it will pick up the free off air channels and some others that you dont pay for through the cable people, at least thats what i did before.
