I am struggled for choice whether to get the:

AMD PHENOM X2 555 Black Edition 3.2GHZ 6MB Cache Retail Box Processor,

AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 Retail Boxed Processor,

intel Core i3 530 2.93GHz Socket 1156 4MB L3 Retail Box Processor


I am willing to pay for any but I was wondering if the AMD's would save me any money but still perform aswell
 
My personal choice would be the x2 550 or the quad core 660 which seems to be getting good responses.

I still like the i3 530 which you probably overclock to around 4ghz with ease.

What will the pc be used for.

The pc will be used for gaming but it's a tight budget no more than £90...But i've got enough money saved up for the motherboard too..when I know which processor I have chosen so i get the right socket
