Unless you want to order from every different vendor your going to have to pick the places you want to buy from. Im not trying to sway you from AMD, but if you want HARDCORE rig then you go intel. Runs cooler, CPU pulls less watts and it will outperform the 8350
No not really
In all modern game engines that can multithread the AMD 8 core processors are often a little better at higher resolutions .
The do use a bit more power . The calcs I saw said that would be about $15 a year for most people in the US . But if you were running it in winter and the heat is in your home your thermostat would be offsetting some of that anyway
As for mantle : I believe AMD more than I believe you

I can totally believe that it is possible to create a better API than directX
This is simply a matter of technological progress . What is possible today was a dream when Microsoft first created DX , and since then the response has been to bloat DX and make it bigger more complicated , more likely to fail and slower .
Starting with a clean slate and writing for multicore processors and modern graphics architectures is bound to give better results
