I know what you mean....thats why I reccomended AMD. Using new Intel technology will eat up your entire budget on just a mobo/proc.
Intel is excellent, but their stuff is soooo expensive.
Both companies have their niche....but you can expect similar performance out of an AMD-based system at a much lower price.
If you can afford it, Intel has a lot of advantages.....but $1000 doesnt really cut it for a top notch Intel system.
Ok....back to work....have fun looking around!
