I had Â£200 (~$320) to spend on a computer, I had the choice to go either:
AMD
or
Intel

silly me I choose Intel, but then I expirement around abit to come up with a AMD system that fits within Â£200, do you think this would preform better than my Intel build?

if you could edit the system to make it better for cheaper, feel free

but oh damn I regret getting Intel stuff.

No external graphics though, Could I ram that into the budget?

DDR2?
AM2+ mobo?
low end ASrock mobo?
Ricer case?

do not agree.
atleast choose AM3 with DDR3.
i made the mistake of buying DDR2 RAM/mobo and i regret it. i had to spend even MORE money on RAM, and at the time 4GB of ram was 109 bucks. lame.

i'll build you an AMD rig 1 sec...
