I am stuck between two builds.
Set 1
AMD Athlon 6000+
DFI Lanparty DK 790fx with 3 PCIE 2.0
In the future, I won't have to upgrade my motherboard. It will be able to support upcoming pci 2.0 GPUs and the new AM3 CPU with 45nm.
Set 2
INTEL wolfdale 3.0
ASUS P35
This has a much more powerful CPU, but I would need to update the motherboard for the new Nehalem socket and for upcoming 2.0 graphics cards.
In the long run, set 2 would cost me more money. But how long will it last before I need a new computer to play games on high with larger resolutions?
