    It is not hard at all to build a computer. One main thing is read the Manual that comes with the motherboard. It will walk you through the steps and show you where to plug things in. Hard part is getting all the stuff you want first. Assembly is easy.


    AMD- does more work per clock cycle than Intel= faster chip, Although I have heard they also tend to run hotter than Intels.

    Intel- Has higher Ghz ratings but seem to lack on actual Power when compared to AMD, and Prices are alot higher.

    I am no expert, but I believe that for the money, AMD is the way to go. And the 3000 and so on #'s AMD uses, signifies their equal to Intel Ghz rating, so a 3000 would be considered a 3.0 Ghz Intel.

    Hope this helps both of you guys a little.

    The hell are you smoking, AMDs tend to run cooler, intels run so hot that they had to include an emergency shut off feature which shuts down your entire computer if you reach a certain temperature.

    As long as you aren't overclocking to hell and beyond, then an AMD is safer when it comes to heat.
