I want to build a new pc, i will be using this pc for some gaming and apps my budget is 950 pushing it.I dont have a personal perference of intel or amd, and i am planning to overclock this computer.

Here is my current rig:
MSI k7n2 Delta2 Platinum
Socket A AMD sempron 3000+ @2.2GHz
768 mb of pc 2700 ram
250GB Maxtor Ultra16
PNY GeForce 6600Gt 128mb
Antec Sonata II Case With a SmartPower 2.0 PSU
NEC Dvd/RW

Here is what i got so far

Intel® Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe Processor 1.86GHz, 1066FSB, LGA775, 2MB Cache Retail
Thermaltake Dream Tower Series -Tsunami VA3400SWA Aluminum Mid Tower Case w/Transparent Side Window (Silver)

Here's my suggestion on a Core 2 build since you don't mind either AMD or Intel.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 <--- If done properly (and with a bit of luck) you should be able to get an overclock of up to 471Mhz on the FSB. If you use the pencil mod described in this article, you may even be able to push it to 535Mhz. Pencil modding will of course void the warrenty though. Use the pencil mod at your own risk.

RAM: Corsair XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2-800

Video Card: eVGA Geforce 7600GT

Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB SATA2

Case (with Antec Smartpower 450W PSU): Antec Sonata II

Total before taxes and shipping: $844.96
