I've seen the latest best cpu for the money chart, and I've seen these two as the winners in their respective price range, nevertheless the motherboard varies.
The price for the Phenom II x4 945 in my country is $188 + 102 for the motherboard, while the i3-530 retails for 149 + 160 for the motherboard. Giving a total cost of 280 for the AMD config and a cost of 310 for the Intel Based one.
The PC is meant for standard home usage (having office, youtube, and a video game open at the same time).
The system will have 2 gigs of ram, a zotac gt 240 ddr5, a seagate drive and a 400 watt psu.
