I'm putting together my own computer and I'm at the hardest part...choosing the right cpu. I'm leaning towards AMD because it's cheaper. What should I get? keep in mind i'm a college student so money is low so don't suggest high end stuff...
Like the title says, it's mainly going to be used for a lot of programming, watching HD movies and a lot of web research. I would like to be able to have many tabs and programs running at the same time.
