Hello guys im looking to order a new cpu/mobo/ram bundle for my gf's computer which is going to be used for mainly gaming but which bundle is better between:

Argon Intel Core i3 550 3.20GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle

Radon AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40GHz @ 3.60GHz Overclocked Bundle

thanks in advance
 
thanks stulid, how would this chip do at overclocking and which heatsink would go well? and how would this perform in wow compared to them bundles?
