Take a look here for information also

I can't reccomend anything if I don't know if you only use your pc for web surfing or if your fav game is crysis and you gotta have it cranked up.

When I built my system, I was looking at gaming benches of AMD vs Intel CPUs in the $100 price range. Intel had the E7400 for $120 at that time and nothing from AMD touched it in gaming performance unless I were to spend more money.

Right now though, you'll spend a lot more money getting something from Intel that will run as fast as something much cheaper from AMD.

now a days amd is chear with much power, "i think?" if ill go for dollar vs power i would go for amd but im also looking for a fast multi tasker cpu. Which one do you think?

Depends entirely on your location on earth. To a lot of us in the US Intel can be seen as the cheaper for price/perf.

Intel is in the lead for performance right now, but I do see price as a factor in choosing parts. For gaming the gap between the two could be seen as less.

then in that case ill have to go for amd phenom IIx4 bit cheap & decent performance also,thx alot guys sorry for noob questions.
