AMD vs Intel 6+ games at the same time

Hello,
I am building a new computer to take my game addiction to the next level.
I play World of Warcraft (multiboxing) up to 5 accounts at the same time, Eve Online, SWTOR, Diablo 3, and Final Fantasy Realm Reborn.
Often when im multiboxing wow i will have other games open monitoring builds, training, auction houses, and markets as well and vice versa. Often i will hit walls with my current rig and want to build a new one that can better handle/share the load with my current computer. Now that the back story is out of the way...

Ive been looking into what cpu i am after, with a price range of under $200 i was wondering which cpu would best handle the task at hand. Most Intel win on the benchmarks i have found but i wasnt sure if there would be any change to the results when you factor in multitasking demands. Not very versed in benefits of more physical cores and assigning processes to specific cores.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

You can only get an i5 on the intel side of things for that price, but for multi-tasking and the amount of stuff you want to run, I would get the 8350 from AMD, but if you can spend more, and want the latest and the greatest, get an i7 and O'C it. Keep in mind that you will need different motherboards for the different CPUs.
