It is time for me to build a new Desktop with an 800$ budget. So far this is what I have come up with
AMD Phenom II X6 3.3GHz Black edition $193
4X 4gb Corair ddr3 1600mhz ram modules with heatsinks $96
LG Blu ray drive with Dvd burner $40
WD Caviar Green 1TB sata HDD 61$
Seagate Barracuda 1TB sata HDD $already owned
NZXT Black Source 210 ATX Mid-Tower PC Case w/ PSU $31
ASUS Crosshair V Formula Republic of Gamers AMD990FX Mobo $220
I just wanted to make sure i am getting decent bang for my buck and that i haven't made some huge oversight in putting together the various components of a desktop.
An AMD hex-core will multitask much slower than an intel quad-core because an i5 is simply almost twice as fast. Many threads can run on one core, the intel will be faster at everything; what you're saying makes no sense.
You haven't listed a graphics card, do you already have one? You can't play games without one.
Your RAM is way overpriced.

Caviar green is an energy saving, slow disk. You will have long load times with that.
