Building Gaming Computer

[OverClocked]

Ok I'm building a gaming computer and want opinions on which processor would be better for gaming.

Presscott 3.0E
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe
memery ??

or

AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Asus K8T800 K8V SE Deluxe
memery ??

I will be buying this in about two weeks or sooner so your opinions are appreciated.

I am leaning towards the AMD (I've always wanted one). What would be good memery with maybe a slight O/C?
