From the thread title you might've guessed the jist of this post.
I'm going to build a computer in the near future and need some advice on which would be better. I am a gamer and a net surfer; I have no need for encoding power. And cooling will not be a problem; I'm probably going to buy an Alpha/Swiftech/Thermalright HSF.
The computer is going to be under 1000 USD so please don't demand that I go for dual processors.
All I want is your opinion of which is better and why. Thanks
