Which build is better AMD or Intel builds
Just want an answer and an explanation of why that build is superior.
Build 1: Core i7 920 Asus P6T Deluxe G.skill 12GB (6x2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 8-8-8-21 1.65v Raidmax hybrid 2 730w Build 2: Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Asus M4A79T Deluxe OCZ Flex XLC 4GB (4 x 1GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 6-6-6-18 2.05v OCZ OCZ700MXSP 700W

Well the Intel build will be faster and have triple the amount ram if thats what you need but its also going to cost a little over $200 more. IMO just get a single 6GB kit for the i7 build and go with it.

AMD if on budget, Intel if you want more power.

The Phenom II 940 only has a DDR2 memory controller in it so --- no DDR3 for that build.

that 940be is not capable of ddr3 yet. you'll have to wait till april.
go for the i7 if you don't mind spending extra $100+. but the ph2 is a smarter choice if gaming is your main purpose.

the i7 will definately be more powerful, but will cost more.
__________________i also second the vote on getting a 6gb kit (3x2gb). much cheaper and 12gb is way more than necessary. and get a different PSU, most people will tell u not to buy the raidmax. get a corsair 750tx i still vote for the i7. if u want AMD, wait till all the AM3 stuff is out.
