AMD phenom II X4965BE is 10 times better than Intel. If you have any logic into computer specs, you would definetely go for the AMD one, i3 duo is really slow, and is not suitable for gaming at all IMO, on the other hand, amd phenom II x4965be has great speed for the price it provides.
Phenom for sure, the quad core will definately be able to handle the loads for gaming and to run a Minecraft/home server. The Intel will not be worth the extra bucks unless you do go with an i5. I'm not an AMD fan boy I'm just a fan of what works for the best price.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
