Which of these PCs is better (both have: ultra aluminus midtower, ultra xpro 600w, dual 120mm fans)
Option 1 (AMD Based):
* Asus M2A-VM Motherboard
* AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ overclocked to 3ghz with 1mb cache
* zerotherm butterfly cpu cooler
* 4gb corsair twinx 800mhz ram
* 500gb hard drive
* pny 8800gt video card stock clocked (600 core / 1800 memory clock)
Option 2 (intel based):
* MSI P43 Neo-F Motherboard
* Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 at 3ghz with 6mb cache
* Stock cpu cooler
* 2gb ocz revision-2 800mhz ram
* 500gb hard drive
* HIS Radeon Ice-Q HD 2600 Pro graphics card (stock clocked 650 core / 1050 memory clock)
Clearly, the AMD has a better video card and more ram, and the intel system has a better processor. Which is better for gaming, video editing, web surfing, music coverison, and more demanding tasks, and is overall better all around.
Thanks for your help. Any suggestions keeping the price the same (490.00 off of tiger direct website plus tax and shipping) are welcome.
