AMD Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CJYV23
Intel Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/B2hRwP

Budget: $1100 with Operating System, SSD, and all prices set for newegg.

Gonna use this to Stream on Twitch, Record for Youtube, and Render Videos For Youtube.

Gonna be playing Dayz, Minecraft, Rust, Arma III, Call Of Duty, BF4, Gary's mod, Left 4 Dead 2, and a few other steam games.

Needs to be able to play these games and stream/record at same time without lagging.

Hey! That's the build I made for you and now you are comparing with the AMD. :D 

Intel will be better. However if you are on a budget go with the FX series. Anyways I made everything to your criteria, only Newegg is the shop.

intel does beat amd out all the way until amd can come up with a winning cpu anytime soon instead of worrying about sucky apu's. The amd part however allows for much more heavy parts to be put in without sacrificing much.

Honestly, playing some of those games and streaming will be tough. You will have to lower settings in all of those A-List games to do what you are asking. While the components you picked will be able to play those games on High, steaming and playing those games will tax your system a little more.

Don't forget about UP speed. Very important. I would honestly pick the AMD build over the Intel one right now. The 8350 will help with video rendering. But, I feel the motherboard is a little expensive. You can find one that performs just as well for $30-40 less.

Kuntha's build is better, but if you go with FX, you can't really upgrade.

If budget is not a problem I can't imagine why anyone would buy AMD..

Not an Intel Fanboy, I just retired My Barton after 11years.

amd just is a little cheaper which allows you to squeeze in extra parts.

kunthakenthe, I would look into another motherboard. That motherboard is a skimps out on the VRM cooling and only has a 4 power phase design. I wouldn't overclock with that motherboard.

That's better.

I've always found the ASRock Extreme4s and Asus ZXX-As to be the best motherboards for the price/performance.

The Fatal1ty is a great motherboard for a single GPU setup (which most people do).
