I am building a Pc for a friend in March and he is on a tight budget. I have only ever dealt with Int Pen 4 processors and have been told that AMD are now on a par with Intel and are much cheaper. The guy who told me only sells Amd so i think he was going to say that anyway, but is there a AMD out there to rival a Pen 4?.

Can anone recommend a Amd cpu that is the equal to a 3.4 intel Pen 4, 775 socket, and a mobo (mainly for gaming)to go with the AMD cpu.

cheers
