Im looking to build a decent gaming pc, but Im having trouble deciding if I should go with an INTEL Core 2 Duo 1.86Ghz/1066Mhz or an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ (2.8ghz/2000mhz)? Please pick one and give detailed answers

Between those two, I would say go with the AMD. I can't get really too detailed in the answer, I looked at gaming benchmarks for both processors and the AMD in this case was faster, pretty simple. The Core 2 Duos are generally faster, but you have selected one of the lower end Core 2 Duos and put it against the second fastest Athlon 64 X2, so the AMD comes out ahead.

It depends on your own preferences. The intel is fast but will overheat faster. AMD is a good sturdy brand for processors and can hold up very well over time. Make sure to check your computer's capabilities before purchasing.

Either of these would be pretty good and would work just fine, although you can get better. A good gaming PC also depends a lot on RAM, your graphics card, and other things. make sure you have at least 1 GB of RAM (you might want more), and at least a 256 MB graphics card.

Go with the INTEL, the benchmark test is better. (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html)
