Building a sub £400 system - what AMD processor?

Ah. Well I only went and bought the AMD setup an hour ago! I went for the 8320 which was £134. That meant I could spend a bit more on the PSU, RAM and Motherboard. Reading forums and looking at benchmark results etc seems to indicate that the difference between AMD and Intel (8320 and i5) is fairly superficial and I'm not particularly fussed about 3fps on some benchmark test or other. Hopefully the setup I've chosen will allow me to do modest overclocking and be stable for a few years to come, like my current setup has been.
 
The 8320 won't be a bad setup at all, especially if you overclock it to the 8350 level of things. The Intel build will probably of been the better choice as it performs better. However it shouldn't be an issue if your not fussed about the slight difference.

Hope you get lucky with the 8320 and it overclocks well. How much did you pay in total for the setup?
