Well, I just built a new PC a few weeks ago. I went with AMD/ATI. I got the quad core 2.5Ghx for $260 With mobo and heatsink/fan. I then got an HD 4850.

If you have to spend much more then that on a CPU/Mobo combo, I would start looking at intel.

For price/performance, the ATI is the clear winner however.

 

which motherboard did you get? does it support crossfire?

 

No, It came with a cheep free one (a Biostar). I figure when I want crossfire, I will buy a good one. It seems to work however. No issues so far.
