Ok so if you were to get one of these < $700 bundles which one would you pick assuming you are not overclocking?

AMD for sho'
considering that you are not overclocking, and the performance of the 940 sits nicely above q8300 I would go with the 940. Some may argue that the 940 and the q8300 have the same performance, so I would just say go with the higher clock speeds, which is the 940 anyways

First Time Build

An even better way to compare: take that extra $30 from the AMD and buy the 4870 (they're about $30-40 more than the 4850) and even the prices out.
See what everybody chooses then... - I like intel but the AMD especially with a 4870 would dominate.
