You seem to 'know' what you're doing so I would suggest all Intel.
Or Just buy a Dell.

"all intel" is a pretty retarded comment if you know about computers.
What intel soundcard, intel videocard, intel mouse????
Only things really "intel" you can get are processor, mb, and network card

And the only reason to buy any of that stuff is if you like to pay more for worse performance.
Even my two "I will never buy AMD" friends have A64s now. Intel is really sucking hind tit these days.

I dunno if i would go that far to say Intel sucks... You are talking about extreme performance where intel loses out. There are many other factors for most people who aren't into getting like the top 5% performance, such as stability, life cycle, and gaurentee intel will always be around.
I used to be pretty much 100% intel and i got a A64 3700+ san diego core and i don't believe it to be as stable as any intel i've ever possesed. I had an ancient thunderbird 700 core chip too that had stability issues. I like my A64 but its pretty extreme to say intel sucks.
Also, in a year or so Intel will more then likely dominate the scene again, or so say the experts (I don't exactly agree but i'm not an expert!).
