Yeah, you tell me which one is better. The 1100T doesn't even beat the i7-2600k in multi-threaded benchmarks.
Face it, until middle summer Intel has the best CPUs unless AMD price cuts somewhere. (Llano mite be cool)
And even then there is no guarantee Bulldozer will be amazing (God, everyone I talk to is hoping though otherwise we all get buttraped by Intel's pricing)
Edit: Even the i5-2500k beats the 1100T at every benchmark but one, and it's 30-40$ cheaper.

well for a start there is a 70+ price difference, for me it has to be good quality and cheap, which like i said in my last post Intel has failed twice to provide this.
we can continue to debate this for weeks, it wont change the fact that i prefer AMD now since Intel produces have "Blown Up" on me and i will only recommend AMD now
Edit:
Anyways we should stay on topic and not argue about this
While I understand that you advise AMD because you have bad experience with Intel, we all know that that's just unlucky, because not many people have CPU issues in the first place.
So instead of advising what we 'like', I suggest we stick to the facts. And these facts say that if you want to build a PC now, you should buy an intel CPU. You were the one who suggested we refrained from going all "Intel vs AMD fanboy", but you appear to be the only one here who actually uses "taste" as a valid argument.
Yeah, I don't even know how he wrecked a CPU, nevermind two! Did he forget to apply thermal paste? Maybe the heatsink? Did he take a blow torch to his CPUs?
But yeah, there really isn't any reason to buy AMD when you spend 200+ on a CPU seeing as the i5-2500k is a beast, and if you go over $300 the i7-2600k is an even bigger beast.
Should I buy any extra thermal cum or heat sinks or any of that special jazz? I don't plan on OCing any time soon.
Yes i would buy better thermal past, the one you get generally suck. The heat sink is up to you, i would say, i generally dont use the stock cooler for them but thats me.
and to Furyan and Capricorn, pm me if you want to keep talking about it, dont want to side track the thread.
edit:
well lets see then he wants a cheap pc (assuming the price from front page is anything to go by), which is cheaper AMD or Intel?
and the reason i use my "taste" is because like you said i had 2 bad experiences with Intel products, which you have to take into consideration when recommending stuff
like i said in my post when i mentioned this, i didnt do anything stupid, i am not sure what happened to them, possible power surge? but it was only the CPU that was broken, i think one also broke the motherboard

It's fine, you can go ahead and continue to use this thread to debate, or make another one, I don't mind!

How high end do you need? I don't think you need to go THAT crazy
processor / mobo combo

psu
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139018
simple ram (non overclocking)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146748
HDD

dvd / cd rw etc

if you don't want stock cooling you can always get a simple fan that does a great job like this:

and depending on what games you want to play... two different gpu's
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150448
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150396
I mean there you're looking at.. around 500-600 depending on what you want to get
you COULD go SSD but I am waiting till they're cheaper.. right now all my stuffs rated 7.8+ on the windows 7 rating except hard drive because it isn't a SSD
a simple case?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119115
nothing fancy... but that's just what I'd do if you
I don't know what you do ofc and if you really need a six core, I think pretty much any amount of multi tasking can be done fine on a quad
I wouldn't as said above the fans that come with will handle the stock fine
if you are going to overclock in the future I'd go for a simple yet highly effective cooling device like the H50 or H70
