Any reason you are specifically going for AMD?

Just FYI, from what I've read over the past couple of years, currently 
you will still get more bang-per-pound-spent going with intel processors 
(ever since the "Core" architecture basically) and they use less power 
than comparable AMD chips too.

Although it should also be said, opinion in the press is that AMD may 
very well take back the mantle later this year/early next when AMD 
release a new hybrid processor range integrated with high performance 
ATi GPU (a SoC in reality), but this is a way off yet and early ones 
will undoubtedly be quite pricey.
