Honestly it would be best to re-do it from the ground up. If you fill out the form here, I can get a better idea of what would be best for you:

Not everyone needs those, and the X6 was never a good idea.

There's no reason not to go with AMD if it's the best option at a given price point. It's ridiculous to prefer one to the other.

There's nothing wrong with that choice. I'd say it was a good one. It's just that Intel will not be the best option at every price point, especially low ones.
