Intel series since the Core 2 Duo onward. Reason: Performance is better and price isn't really all that much higher for the performance advantage.

For gaming, Phenom X4. For more general use, Athlon X2, X3, or X4 but I'd always go for the energy efficient ones because they allow a cooler quieter pc build.

To expand on the cool & less power used - New AMD smaller fab chips are due out by late summer which will really reduce power and heat from their present line up!

Hang on till Autumn to upgrade/buy if I was you esp if you want to build a cool/quiet living room multi-media pc.
Also, the new Fermi Nvidia Cards should have reduced in price by then and more choice of (cheaper) motherboards with USB 3 ports/Sata 600 etc for future upgrades.

AMD fanboy since my first PC. I'm currently running Athlon X2, but I'd love to get an X4 for my next machine.
