Hi!

I want to buy new computer, but I don't make a choice between intel and AMD. I read a lot of "best for the money", but it only BOOM'd my head. Can you help me?)

So,
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: December

Budget Range: 1000$

System Usage from Most to Least Important: World of Warcraft, BF3\BF4, (don't like singleplayer); virtual machines, PCS7, youtube.

Are you buying a monitor: maybe, 21-23" (if yes, overall budget~1000$)

Do you need to buy OS: No

Parts Preferences:
1) CPU: i5 or AMD FX 8350 or maybe lesser
2) Video: Radeon HD 7870 (ASUS)
3) MB: I think have to be ASUS
4) Memory: 8+ GB
5) case, PSU, optical drive
6) Monitor maybe SAMSUNG or DELL
7) SSD (maybe Samsung 840 Pro MZ-7PD128BW, but isn't it too expensive?..)
8) HDD: 500Gb

Overclocking: little (+400MHz max.)

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 (want to try)

Additional Comments: want to play WoW ultra, shoot helicopta; hate lags, like fast loading; I don't like onboard GPU in i5's, but if they are better....

Upd.: made budget correction according to russian prices
