		 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!
