i'm in the market for a new pc (a barebone kit in particular). I keep hearing that Intel's i7 is a very nice cpu but does cost a bit more than the AMD Phenom II, but the phenom II is nothing to scuff at. I've been scoping the market
and found an PII build that is overclocked to 4ghz with water cooling, and this build is considerably less that other i7 builds so for me it seems like a no brainer. I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to go with the PII and use the cash i save to possibly get other enhancements for the computer (video card, bluray drive, etc) rather than paying for a good processor only.
Thanks!
