It aint bad, but for £20 more the i5 gives quite a bit more performance, plus a 1155 socket mobo gives me the possibity to upgrade ot an i7 or Xeon later on.
On a socket AM3, there is no where else you can go as the phenom II is already top of the ladder.
AMD nailed Intel good and proper with the Athlon 64 back in 2005/2006, but since then, they seem to have been struggling a fair bit.
