I'm building my first gaming PC and I can't decide between AMD and Intel, I'm on a budget of 1500 or a little over.

Here is my AMD build, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7wB923

Here is my intel build, can't decide on a z97 motherboard, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KKjhFT

Why are you having trouble deciding between the FX8350 and i5 4690k? That should be an easy choice. The Intel build is better hands down no contest. The FX8350 is 2 years old now and no longer competes. Pretty much any Z97 motherboard will work.

If you want AMD, get the FX-9590, at least.

The Intel build is far better than the AMD build for gaming :) 
I would suggest that you go with the Intel build, but use the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Vapor-X Video Card instead of the Asus GeForce GTX 780 3GB DirectCU II Video Card, because the R9 is cheaper (not much but still cheaper :)  ) and has better core speed, memory, pixel rate and power consumption :) 
That's just a suggestion though :)
