AMD V Intel CPU choice

[koolpc]

Intel Core i3-2120 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

AMD Athlon II X4 Quad Core 645 3.10GHz

2 CPUs within my price range and i am looking to build a nice PC but would only need onboard graphics. Matx would be fine. Not sure which to go for and what mobo / ram to get.

I would be using the pc for some photography work and nothing too taxing but i may want to buy a separate GPU sometime in the future but that is not a must have item at the mo.

I already have a Micro ATX case, PSU and Hard drive and dvdrw

So guys, which CPU would you go for and why and can someone marry it up with a nice mobo and 4gig ram as i am hopeless at that.

Cheers

I will do some low res gaming i guess. What is LLano setup?

 

[koolpc]

Waw, thanks guys. Even more confused now!! lol

 

[koolpc]

Never heard of Llano as i have been out of loop for ages!!

Is that a better buy than the 2 i mentioned?

 

[koolpc]

If you're going to make use of the integrated graphics then yes, most definitely.

Much better than the Athlon x4 on an Matx board with onboard GPU?

Ok, so Llano worth looking into then.
