Hi folks,
I've decided it's time for a complete new system but can't decide on Phenom II quad (maybe dragon orientated set up) based or to bite the bullet and pay the extra for i7 with potential for future processor upgrade. I beleive AMD are putting out AM3 soon and what with choices between DDR2 or DDR3 in the mix it's hard to say what way to go.
Any advice im thinking of paying around £400-£800 - cheaper is always better for quality parts.
will require:
CPU
MOBO
RAM DDR2/3?
Graphics card
good case and PSU already in the bag.
i might decide to voerclock if i get some time to mess around but mostly it's gaming and the odd video stuff.
any advice or debate greatly appreciated.

i7 only makes sense in very particular cases imo.
) be AM3 and run at 3.2GHz stock. But (as staffsMike says) for gaming you really don't need anything more than an X3 720 BE, which is a bargain at £120ish!
