hi,
I'm looking to build a new computer in the close future and I had in mind an intel build (a Q6600 and stuff like that) BUT when the radeon 4870 1GB ver. came out (I'm in Israel so we have less choices and things come here later and pricier) it became a little over my budget... so I checked the AMD option and it's cheaper. now I don't know which to choose...
my options are for AMD:
