Nice build, TrueKilla.

I had a AMD build list burried away in my documents somewhere, by now it would be out of date slightly since I made this several months ago!

CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition
MOBO: MSI 990XA-GD55
RAM: 8GB DDR3 Vengeance
HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
HDD2: 3TB Seagate Barracuda
CASE: NZXT Phantom White
PSU: Corsair TXM 650W Modular

That case is so Sexy!.
No graphis card in that build though, Since I never settled on one.

OVERALL PRICE: £493.01 (Probally less by now!)

The Black Edition is good. always was but im an Intel Person. AMD is more for Server Side Hosting

AMD is more for the people with a low budget as Intel can really cost a leg and a half sometimes, Such a pain. That build I posted comes to roughly £400 by now which is incredibly cheap so the parts could be swapped out for better ones by now. Technology advances so quickly these days!
