If your referring to Dual Core processors, then Intel is currently better.

Really depends on your budget for a processor:

If under $100:AMD.

If over $100:Intel.

And i presume you're gonna have a good deal of money to burn when you build this rig.

I wouldn't take a chance with them if you're getting a prebuilt,go with dell,you can't get something decent from them,also velocity micro and ABS are decent prebuilt brands,but why woun't you build your own rig? much cheaper and you get more bang-for-your-buck.

Dells XPS service is excellent!

But...thier computers can be built cheaper by you....of course you won't have thier outstanding tech service

Dell will actually send you a new computer before you even return your old one....same goes with parts.

if your a tech head build your own...if not Dells not a bad alternative

and they are alwasy running that 18 month same as cash deal...pay it off in 18 months and you'll pay 0 intrest!

I wouldn't go as far as to say those two dealers are pure crap. I know a lot of purists will dog them, but they put out a decent product - so long as you know you get what you pay for.

I agree with the Dell. I was just looking at one today. You can get the follow:

E6420 @ 2.13 Ghz

2GB RAM

8600GTS

320GB HDD

22" Monitor

For about $1250, less if you have any coupon codes (check slickdeals.net).

A 19" would be a better monitor for the 8600GTS.

Just sell the 22" and get a 19" :P or save up for a X1950XT and keep the 22" lol

Order your computer fromVigor Gaming. Trust me. They are absolutely excellent in customer service, price, and performance. www.vigorgaming.com I'll be ordering from them as well. Go to www.resellerratings.com search store name Vigor Gaming and you will see they have a score of 9.7 out of 10 in overall customer satisfaction. Compare that to Alienware, Ibuypower, and Dell. Who all have less than 6 out of 10 in customer satisfaction.

I just threw one together real quick (not matching it exactly), and the price came to about $100, plus whatever OS and shipping fees there are.
