I'm building a new rig for a friend. He's always been inclined towards Intel and nVidia. However, I'm posting these two options. Would like everyone's opinion.
Intel Build:
CPU : Intel E8400
Motherboard : ASUS P5Q3
AMD Build:
CPU : AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE
Motherboard : ASUS M4A78T-E
Common Peripherals:
GPU : GTX260 / HD4850 / HD4870 (Friend wants to keep it between the GTX260 and the HD4870 but I'm throwing in the 4850 as well.)
RAM : 4GB DDR3 (1333 MHz in all probability; Transcend / Xion / Kingston)
PSU : Cooler Master RP-600-PCAR 600W (This choice is based on availability. Other brands are almost impossible to locate in my city.)
Cabinet : Cooler Master CM690
Which build in your opinion is a better choice if gaming is the primary purpose? Also would like your inputs on the GPU and anything else that you think.
Thanks.
