Do you have the AMD AM2 board already? If so and you want to save money, go with the black box editions that amd is putting out. They are prety cheap and if you ever do go into O/C you will be set with one of those. If you dont have a motherboard yet, then by all means go CORE2.

I would go with Intel if you don't have the board already. I'd get a good 600W PSU.

thanks guys. ive priced up everything and it looks like im only spending about 100 more.
just one other thing. i need to buy a case aswell and i only have a few options with my budget.
these are the following cases i can choses from:

*SuperFlower SF707-Dual /SF791 /X-Mask /Xion
*Thermaltake Wing RS-100 / RS101 / Matrix
*Thermaltake Soprano / SopranoVX
*Cooler Master Elite RC-330/331/332/CAC-T05/CAV-T01
*Antec NSK4400

I can only afford these cases and they all come with psu's of around 350 watts. but im getting a 600 and shuving that in one. ive read reviews on them all and its hard for me to tell what case would probably be a better option.
has anyone had any experience with any of these cases?
Im looking for something with good ventalation and air circulation.
thank you.
