I am gonna by a PC and I am having trouble deciding between Intel and Amd.
This is the Intel PC

FDD 1,44MB 3,5" – black

The AMD PC is the same but with

Processor

Judging from your video card I'll say AMD, but get a different mobo if you are gonna get AMD. DFI would be good choice.
That Geil ram use TCCD chips? I was just curious

thanks, I think I'll go with the AMD and have changed the motherboard to a DFI Lanparty UT n4 Ultra-D.

I don't think GSkill memory is available in Poland, are they really worth the effort? Instead of the Geil memory I've been thinking of these: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Produ...82E16820146890
are Gskill better?
