| Gfx: 8800gts 320 almost twice as fast as your 8600gts, and doesn't cost twice as much (not even close $199 vs $250)

| Without overclocking, a low-end AMD system might be the better choise. |

| Not sure, price drops end this month put Intel on par with AMD in low range; and then the E2160 really blasts past the A64 performance wise; the Core based Celeron is also quite fast

| I think that the 4300 is as low as you should go with the 6420 being the next step for a budget scenario without overclocking. The lower power consumption is nice to keep the noise down. |

E2160 at stock speed is equally fast as equally priced X4400+, or even a tad slower.
