Need cpu/mobo advice

[Snaggle]

I am building my son a new pc for his 21st and i normally use only AMD cpus.

I have a limited budget which i have to include a decent size monitor / keyboard / mouse etc (£700 max really)

Now i specced a decent Amd quad core 4gig ram ..decent case and 22" monitor for just over £700 .

But i keep hearing wonderfull things about Intel cpus but have no idea about what mobos to use and what chip fits what . but can i afford to spec a decent intel setup for my 700? Given the cpu and mobo i have for Amd seems cheaper than the lowest spec cpu only for intel .

It mostly for gaming ... cs2/cod4/wow and the usual internet/email etc .. so ocuk spec me or tell me what to do .

I specced the Amd setup with hdd/dvdrw/4gig decent mouse/keyboard etc i dont have the spec on my laptop .

Im happy to spec the rest of the items as im pretty confident what to buy ...the main question is can i improve the spec/performance by having an intel cpu/mobo .

From my breif look i would say not but im not an intel user so hence asking those who have more experience of Intel stuff it will compare with the new Amd quad core in my budget .
