No I'm not being lazy, just that i have no idea what offers the best bang for buck atm, because i've fallen a bit behind with CPU's, mobbos and chipsets.

I came from AMD athlons to P4's and know that both have there upsides and downsides etc.

So what i want is to know the best system i can get for £300-£350 (bit skint atm y'see)

I'm not too fussed about an all singing all dancing graphics card for now, just something that will do for light gaming until i upgrade it later.

Most importantly i want a mobbo and CPU combo that i can strap to my radbox and clock the bajesus out of (well what else would you expect me to do?)

All i need specced is Mobbo, CPU, GFX and RAM (if it's a DDR2 mobbo, if not then my Adata will do for now) and would like an Intel AND an AMD system specced, so i can ponder over the + and - of them both.

Cheers in advance folks, you're all stars.

:)

This has a dual core P4 but I think the AMD system would be the better choice.
