I wasn't going to over clock and I have about 500-600 dollars. I would like to be able to play battlefield 3, skyrim etc.

What if I was to go the amd route any suggestions on what components I would need I was looking at maybe the phenom II black procceser but I have little experience with amd and their products

Ok then I will stick to the core i5 and look for a cheaper motherboard. Themselves for the help.
