Ok,
I find myself in a fortunate position to have a choice between mobo/cpu combos..

1. AMD 4000+ with an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. 1gb ram
2. Pentium 4 650 (3.4ghz EMT64), and Intel D945PVSLK 1gb DDR2 667

Other items are common between the two,

1. BFG 7800GT OC
2. 1 dvd-rom, 1 dvd-rw
3. media card reader
4. 19" lcd
5. wireless keyboard/mouse
6. cable modem

etc...

50% gaming, 50% websurfing

No overclocking.

Games are: FEAR, Quake 4, NFS:MW, COD2, UT2004.

I'm currently using the AMD and am having no problems that I can find, I've always used Intel up until this where my curiosity about AMD has gotten me..

Which and what would be your reasons? (price is not a concern, no will I OC).

thanks!

Number 1, no contest.

I would also agree. I really dont think you can go wrong either way, but your amd chip will run your games better, and the asus board is top notch
 
Well considering the AMD is faster in both general software use (websurfing) and gaming, the choice is clear.

Only case in which you would want to choose the Intel would be if you were heavy into video and audio encoding and not gaming.
