im going to build a new cpu and was wondering what processor to choose

earlier I was going to buy i5 3570k (ivy bridge one) but now I saw AMD FX 8350 and saw that it has 8 cores.....I really don't know anything about about AMD processors

THEY BOTH ARE OF THE SAME PRICE(IN INDIA)

so should I buy the amd FX 8350 or 3570k
which one is better

im buying for playing games on 1080p

my full specs are
hd 7950
8gb ram
500gb DD
 


intel 3570k is the best video gaming processor on the market at it's price.
AMD 8350 is the best multi-task/threaded processor on the market at it's price.

It would seem you should get the 3570k. Or the 3570 If you don't want to overclock.
 
+1 Core i5 3570K. For those who know me and have me do their builds, you’ll know that it’s just about the best processor you can get for the money today. With plenty of performance, top notch overclocking capability and enough horsepower to run any game you throw at it, the choice is a no brainer.
