AMD 64x2 or FX. this is going to be used for intensive gaming and movie watching. i am planning on taking it to college with me--thats why i am aiming at sff
I'm kind of in the same boat. I would go AMD Dual Core, with a 2k budget a FX60 would be over budget. Look at the X2 line. As for the system, if you want to build your own then look at the Qpack or the Silverstone case. If you want to just add memory, processory, and a graphics card then go with a Shuttle. Graphics card would depend on the processor you choose and if you're an nVidia or ATI fan.
