If the machine is for gaming, go with an Intel. Much cheaper and easier to upgrade. Otherwise, the 8500 performs better than the 7200, so you'll be able to run games at higher settings.

I spec'd the amd because it was turning out less expensive then the intel...

 the system is for some gaming like counterstrike... i know it's an older game  Smile    and some use running vmware sessions for multiple os testing.
