Building a new computer

[Jefetequila]

Hello its time to build a new computer and i was wondering if i should go for Intel or Amd.I have two systems at the moment to choose of.The first is a Intel P4 with a P4E 3.2 GHz CPU and a Asus P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard,
Twinmos PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024 MB Kit with two matched moduls,And Gainward Geforce 6800GT 256MB. Or should i go for the Amd Athlon 64
With a AXP 64 3200+ with a MSIK8N Platinum Edition S754 with the same memory as the first choise and the same graphic card as the first system.
I´m only playing games and encoding videos with this computer.
I´m not going oc this system just going with default settings.

I'm thinking the amd 64 is ur best choice, especially for the gaming.

Mobile XP 2600+ (11X200)
Abit NF7-S v 2.0
Maxtor 60GB ATA 133 7200RPM
512MB Corsair Twinx 3200LL
BBA 9800 Pro
Enermax Noisetaker 420 watts
Win98SE

I'd go with the A64. Not only is the CPU a bit more powerfull, but I believe the motherboard is much better too. P4C800-E Deluxe's have a design defect that causes unstable CPU core voltage. I'm fairly certain that the flaw is present in all P4C800 and P4P800 boards.

I would go with the A64, but I'd choose a Socket 939 board... of course the CPU's start at $450 from what I've seen.

This is what i´m looking at right now
The price is around 1.500$$ in Sweden
Maybe i can oc this a little bit or should
i go for some other components?
Would be nice if i could hit around 215-220 FSB
with stock cooling.

Since your waiting have you looked at the PCI-EX Graphic cards?
