and got the following prices.....

1.
intel i3 530 + intel mobo = 12000 (ddr3)
vs
amd phenom 2 x4 925 + asus m4a78t-e mobo = 11900 (ddr3)

which is better in performance.... as these 2 suits my budget....

2.
intel c2d 2.93 + asus p5kpl amps mobo = 8250
vs

the AMD ones are more VFM.

however, in config 2, you can go for Phenom x2 555 and unlock it.

X4 630 is better for longer run, specially if used for photoshop. X2 545 is good but 2 cores won't help much.

as for 1st config, let me ask someone else help u out here.

is athlon 2 x4 630 better than amd phenom 2 x2 545 - YES
but if u want to do overclocking
go for Phenom X2 555 & over clock it..[enable disabled core then it will hv 4cores]


but if ur going to Multitask go for i3 or i5 based system
else 630 is AWsum
