Quick question on AMD or Intel

Alright basically getting A E6300 cpu and a Gigabyte S3 mobo is the same price pretty much as a AMD 3800 X2 and a Asus MN2-E mobo anyway the Asus mobo is rubbish for over clocking and all together doesent seem realy like a good mobo after doing some research, i will be using the system for gaming so i decided to go with the corsar Value PC 5300, 677 mhz 2 gig ram, and either a XFX 7900 GT or x1950 pro im going too order this PC tommorow and my main concerns are the Mother board, what would you go for ?

If your going Intel get the Asus P5B and if you are going AMD get the M2N-E. I'd opt for the Intel E6300 if you can - I have an e6300 and it's fast.

If i go for that Mobo i cant afford 2 gigs of ram this is the problem i meen if i lived in US it would be mint because you dont robbed on over priced parts and TAX , I will just go for the 3800 then its just the fact that people seem too have problems with the board i dont want too end up with something im going too need too send back, 2 gigs of ram is an important factor seen asthough i need too play games on it.
