There are allot of variables that need to be considered.
Such as...
* Your budget.
* What resolution are you gaming at? (I.E. 1366x768 or 1920x1080 which are the common TV resolutions.)
* Form factor. (ITX, I.E. Shoe-box sized, Micro-ATX, ATX etc'.)
* Upgradeability.
* Performance, I.E. Intel are faster than AMD in the CPU space, AMD are generally faster in the GPU space at any given price point, are your workloads/games more CPU or GPU heavy? (RTS games generally favor the CPU, FPS generally favors the GPU.)
* Noise. (AMD stock coolers, put jet engines to shame.)
* Overclocking.
