A mate of mine needs a new PC speccing and im unsure what cpu mobo combo to recommend him.

He doesn't use his PC for gaming (apart from footy manager) so all he wants is a reasonably priced media encoding beast. What would be better an amd 64 system or one based on an intel dual core system? Im a bit out of touch with the scene at the minute so any words of wisdom would be greatly thanked.

he wants to spend around 500 quid, including:

Case
PSU
Mobo
CPU
RAM
GPU
and O/S

I was thinking of *** antec performance case cos its bundled with the trupower 480w PSU which i remember being fairly decent. the GPU doesnt have to be anythiung special at all.

Cheers
