What is your budget? If you can afford it, the most powerful option right now would probably be a maximus vii hero motherboard and an i7 4790k processor, but it depends on what you're willing to spend.

I'd go for this then. And yes, AMD is cheaper, but intel makes better processors.

Just to give you an idea...

Here'a an AMD CPU and good quality motherboard that will give you similar gaming performance as an i5, close to i7 in 'some' games.

It was inexpensive enough to add on a very good liquid cooler for overclocking.
