Re: What would you do different?

Maybe because AMD is cheaper, and he's only building a poker computer.

A 3.0 ghz intel p4 is cheaper and fast enough for poker. How much use does a average person have of an athlon64, prolly none. If he is "only building a poker computer" it is overkill anyway and if the price is critical a cheaper cpu is a good choice. I would go with an intel mobo and intel cpu for stability. You wont regret it.
*edit*
I put together an intel system (3.0ghz) instead with about the same specs. $805+shipping from newegg. It is pretty much the same as above but with intel cpu and mobo, and maxtor 300gb hard drive instead of seagate. Also a pioneer burner instead of nec. I would chose that instead of the athlon setup, easy.
