It all boils down to this. Performance vs performance. Intel excels at certain things and AMD excels at other things. Only thing is, you can tweak your AMD to make up for what intel excels at.

If you get an AMD for the love of god get a decent cooling setup. A thermaltake volcano 7+ is just perfect for most cases. Get a decent power supply with at least 150w TOC under full load and kicking 3volt rails.

Intel are for those who like to set and forget and take it as it is.
AMD is for those who want more out of their system than what comes in the box.
