Please help Me decide!

I am running short on time and need advice.

I need to build a new system and have been an avid AMD fan for to long to remember.
But from the little I have been able to read intel SEEMS better.

I would like some opinions please from those of you who have expierence with both as to what choice to make.
If I stay with AMD I am debating between:

K9 Diamond K9 Sli Platunum Mother Board
N-force 590 N-force 570 Chipset
Athlon 64x2 Athlon 64x3 Processor
3 ghz 3 ghz Spd
2x1mb 2x1mb L2 Cache
1000 1000 FSB


And in the Intel I am debating between:

P6 SLI P6 SLI Platinum P35 Platinum P 35 Neo2-fr Mother Board
N-force 650I N-force 650I P35 P35 Chipset
core 2 duo core 2 duo core 2 duo core 2 duo Processor
3 ghz 3 ghz 3 ghz 3 ghz Spd
2x2mb 2x2mb 2x2mb 2x2mb L2 Cache
1333 1333 1333 1333 FSB


thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Where did you find X3 from?
If thats not a typo I think your retailer is conning you.

OK, give us some details.

1. How much are you willing to spend (not including monitor or speakers)
2. What will you do with the PC?
3. If it's for games, what are your favourite 3 games?
4. What screen resolution are you going to use?
5. Do you live in the US? (If not, newegg links won't help much)
6. When do you plan to upgrade or replace this PC? 2 years? 5 years?

I was not asking for a recomendation based on $ use, etc..
I posted specific combinations and am looking for head to head comparison.
