Hello friends, I am planning to upgrade my old pc. [ AMD athlon 2 X2 240 + ASUS m2n68amplus, 2gb ram]

My use will be
General
HD Movies on big screen lcd, with media centre with live recording and my current full hd 24d" monitor
Occasional Gaming
And Must is HD video editing from my new sony HD Handycam, full hd 1080 60p AVCHD video 24Mbps MAX

I have read many thing on net and decided following 2 configuration
1.
Intel i5 2400 9300/_
Intel DH67Bl 5200/_

2.
AMD phenom II X6 1090T 8600/_
Asus M4a88t M/USB3 5800/_
Along with either off the above

Kingston RAM DDR3 1333 2 X 4GB 2500/_
Seagate 2tb 3950/_
Sony dvd writer 970/_ [ Blue ray when media becomes cheaper ]
Logitech mouse kb
Routine LARGE CABINET from local dealer

Suggest a power supply for this rig, just enough for this and cheap, will upgrade later if graphics card added in future .

So friends,
Help me decide from above two rigs.
NO OVERCLOCKING,
NO HIGH END GAMING NOW

HDMI are in both
Usb 3 in both

Intel"s had overall good performance. Good in gaming also

AMD had six cores, better in video editing, value for money.
Its motherboard 880 had good inbuilt RADEON graphics, enough for me now, will upgrade later.
Also the graphics can be like hybrid crossfire in future.
Also I am satisfied with my current amd athlone 2 x2 240, with asus mobo, superb vfm.

Please also tell me other benefits of intel. And suggest me what is future proof, and fits in this budget range.

Thanks,
Dr. Jimit
 
Go with the Intel based i5 2400 setup. Much better for your usage than the AMD 1090T BE which would be replaced in a couple of months by an entirely new bulldozer architecture from AMD.
 
I think Bulldozer will be released on sep 19.So if you are not in a hurry,you can wait for some bulldozer benchmarks.Else go for the intel setup.
 
Thanks....
I think I will wait

Then if not satisfied, i will go for bettes intel at that time n money.

Also can any1 tell me a CHeapest ASUS/ intel mobo with both USB 3 and SATA 6 Gb/s and HDMI. I need all three for video edit nd lots of data transfers.....

Intel DH67BL for around 5k.

If you want an Asus board, the cheapest is Asus P8H67-M LE for 6k.
