Need advice on buying a CPU

[Awesome Austin]

Hello everyone, I am doing extensive research on what kind of CPU to buy since I am going to be building a computer. I am on the fence of which brand to get (AMD or Pentium) and wanted to know if I could get some advice on what exactly to look for. I am leaning toward getting

this one ---> http://www.directron.com/ada4800cdbox.html

I would just want to know if this is a very good choice or what. Im not an idiot when it comes to computers but I am also not an expert, any advice on what to get would be greatly appreciated

I'd recommend to get it from Newegg.com for two reasons:

• Newegg is well known and the processor is cheaper there:

• The page on directron website says "Regular price:$694.98". That is not true. Here is a link to AMD current prices: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_609,00.html
