ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
I haven't kept up to date on computer parts since the Core 2 Duo processors were brand new and I bought my current laptop for college, a Sony VAIO Core 2 Duo 13.1". I'm not a huge PC gamer but there are some games that just play better on a PC rather than a console. I'm looking to build a PC that can at least play most of the new games out there today. I recently took a look at newegg for some ideas on what parts to go with and ended up spending two hours deciding that computer hardware advances far too quickly to take a 3 year break and try to step back into. I can tell you this, leaning towards AMD processors as they seem to be cheaper, but i'm not looking to overclock.
