Solution
I am guessing that your budget will allow for about $400 for a combined cpu/gpu budget.
Divide that into 1/3 for the cpu or $125. That is about the dividing line where intel and amd are comparable. Above $125, intel will be better. Allocate the other 2/3 or $265 for your graphics card. It is that important.
