I've been looking at some of the benchmarks and price brackets, and it seems that with the price slashing going on, the AMD procs have plummeted below the cost of their Intel brethren, and though I hear everyone preach Intel constantly, that usually doesn't take into account price difference. Looking at hopefully under $250 for a cpu+mobo I could get a combo deal like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.150323 which would save me some cash, but would it perform better than say a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037 with a motherboard that costs $85 or less? Also, I haven't been as up to date as I should on hardware news, but it looks like LGA775 is beginning to be phased out, which would make future upgrades more clunky, while the AMD2+ socket seems to be just rolling out, which seemingly make it more future friendly.
Any opinions?
