Well let me jump right in, Firstly the main-board/motherboard contains multiple chipsets made mostly by eastern manufacturers, it is not AMD or Intel chips driving the graphics or not on all models. You get Via, creative, Invidia, SIS. Now the RAM or memory can be Samsung to Kingston depending on taste.
Still the main component would be the CPU or now known as APU depending on model. For the most part Intel is dominant this was due to the fact that early day AMD systems had a tendency to "pop" There were no money in their unstable product so it got a bad reputation.
That said the new AMD systems still run like toasters but thanks to innovations such as heat-pipe cooling and even liquid cooling AMD is running much more stable. It is worth pointing out that if you install liquid cooling it is considered safe to use if you do it correctly! There are also non conductive liquids available that will add to your peace of mind.
As for the most part the NEW AMD systems give you performance especially in gamming. It is not as slow as most will tell you. Yes the benchmarking utilities will give it a low score but in actual game play an example would be FEAR 3 you can expect all the blood and gore and more.
Intel became too expensive if you look at the 775 Quad-Core it maintained a high price till end of life. To date their Core i3 is a pi$$ poor excuse of a CPU. If you cannot get an i5 don’t go for Intel.
I only suggest if do go for AMD spend that little extra and get a proper cooling solution to go with it.
