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 .
Persil
