AMD has advantage on graphics & cost. You can hold on for graphic card if buy on AMD platform. HD 4290 (HD 550V) will play most of games at lower resolutions. I too had apprehension like you regarding AMD because I was made to believe by dealers the fabricated bad image image of AMD mostly by dealers and so called paid agents online & those reviewers ofcourse. I took a decision to switch over to AMD 04 years back initially due to cost & now advantage of superior inbuilt graphics of ATI. I am happy about my choice and my systems are way ahead of my coleagues of intel based systems and on the average my system is 5-8000 cheaper at the same time superior to them.

Ofcourse AMD has advantage in price but no way can you claim it to be superior.

1.Asus P7H55D-M Pro~ 6.3k

3.Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H ~ 5.4k --> I would suggest this mobo. or 3.Gigabyte GA-H55M-D2H ~ 4.4k (Has only 2 RAM slots)

Edit:

If u are getting the i-5 760 and planning to OC it then the Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 ~ 6.3k.

And the prices of PhenomII X6 1090T BE has dipped to 11.45k(SMC, Delhi). So the Phenom with the MSI 880GMA-E45 ~ 5.35k is also a good option IMO if u are planning to keep the rig for sometime. Newer Games will increasing make use of all cores available. Get a 4GB GSkill RipJaws CL9 1600MHz Kit ~ 3.6k and u are all set for a great upgrade :)

I found G.Skill quality better than Corsair + you should not have any warranty issues with them, if you are getting Intel i5 + Gigabyte cheaper board around the UD2, check for its compatibility with Corsair XMS3 1600 MHz kit as my friend who bought this combo ended up RMAing it and going for standard Transcend JetRAMs :(

For a comprehensive task, prioritize what you wanna do gaming or multitasking ~ if it is gaming Intel but multithreaded apps are purely taken by the Thuban cores go for a cheaper x6 1075T which is a decent performer. Also AMD is out with its last Deneb cores, the AMD x4 970 B.E.

Bench - CPU - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News - AMD 970 B.E. vs. i5 760

Then go for the Core i5 760 or wait for Sandy Bridge ( and the accompanying price cuts :) ), or for budget issues go for the AMD Phenom II 970 B.E.

Waiting for H/W to release is a PITA - I've been waiting for a 1035T to release (non-OEM) for a LONG LONG TIME :( :|

@OP- I'd get my self a core i5-760 + Gigabyte (H55-UD2H~5.5k or P55-US3L~6k) Since its for 1-Gaming,2-Gaming and OC - Thats where I'd put my money at ..
