Strika's builds are pretty good, but for the $810 one i would drop the CPU down to a E5300 andthe video card up to a HD 4850. The 9600 GSO would be way too much of a bottleneck for the E7400.

I chose a AMD system because I prefer them

why? Ive heard that 9600 gso are really good.

Doesnt really matter AMD or Intel its users preference, but older AMD processors are crap for gaming, I dont know about the new ones. I prefer Intel as it is what im using now, and its pretty good, better than the old amd i had

That's a pretty bad reason to chose AMD. The reason you should chose one over the other would be for better performance.

The 9600 GSO is crap, i dont know where you heard that it was good. Its a re-branded 8800 GS, which is worse than a 9800GT.

The AM2 AMD64's are pretty old and are worse than almost every C2D on the market. The AM2 was originally supposed to compete against the C2D's, but that never ended up working out when the AM2's were only a little better than the S939 AMD64's.

Apparently the 7750 is a Phenom 9500 but with 2 cores disabled.

I don't really like Intel, not sure why.

lol, i thought it was an AMD64

The original Phenom's still sucked anyways, but not even close to as bad as the AMD64's. Even if its a Phenom, the Intel E5300 is still much better.

Over all the arguing, im looking for the cheapest, but still good.

If AMD's are a little less better than Intels but alot cheaper i would buy AMD.

But could someone link a good Intel build, cheapest but good.

And Farepack linked the good AMD Build that he sugessted.
Here is it:

MoBo ($138.60): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=36402
CPU ($110.00): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=38406
RAM ($84.70): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=25249
GFX Card ($223.00): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=33359
PSU (157.30): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=33849
Case ($56.10): http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/prod...s_id=35146

Total: $769.70

Looks pretty good to me, any Intel builds cheap? or like an extra ~$50 <(means 50 or less right? ) But better?

EDIT: Opps, forgot to do edit.
Sorry for doublepost
