which one would be the best value for the dollar and which one would last me awhile

I really don't want to start another whose Daddy is bigger argument,so I am only going to speak in very generall terms.
Basically,from what I have read (Applction speed tests and the like ;PC Modder MAg , etc)
Intel is the Multi media , multitask ,machine to buy.
Game play- AMD
There really isn't going to be a significant and noticeable difference between machines at the level you are buying.
So I recommend you go after the best Warranty and support you can get.

Im not getting into the AMD, Intel argument either....but i would put a few more dollars into those PSUs...why spend 650+ and skimp out with those no name Power Supplies?

Most people here are PC-savvy enough, that you can put the article here in text, rather than a bunch of links (that in some cases don't work!)
e.g. AMD64/3000 S939
or ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.

And I agree with AtK Spade that both those PSUs are rubbish.
Look for dual (=2) +12V rails, together minimum 30 Amp.

Look in the CPU forum, plenty of similar posts there!
