I was looking at a comparison for the AMD 750K vs the Pentium G3220 and they were fairly close in performance and with a price difference (one with a case and one without) I feel like it was worth comparing the two.
I can pick up a case that my school is giving away for free and it's a fairly decent case.

Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next month or two

Budget Range: $300

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, music production, video editing and least important is the light stuff we all do.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts Preferences: I have a list of both an Intel and an AMD build (budget mind you)

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Building a PC for some gaming that is on a budget.
 
Solution
AMD offers a much better price/performance ratio for their CPU's over Intel. If your on a budget its usually better to go with AMD, and under 300$ is certainly a budget. I wouldn't even recommend building a 300$ computer since you might not get the performance your looking for, and you may be craving an upgrade shortly after.

If I may ask, why the AMD at this low of a price?
