Intel Core i7-5820K vs AMD FX-9370 (on a combo)

PowerColor Radeon R9 290 4GB PCS+ Video Card
Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor

VS

PowerColor Radeon R9 290 4GB PCS+ Video Card
AMD FX-9370 4.4GHz 8-Core OEM/Tray Processor

So my question here is simple , which of these combos would perform best? Or would they basically be about the same?
Since there is about a 150+ price difference beetween the two I'm interested in getting some insights. Thanks in advance ,

Note: To deal with a moderate workload (graphic design programs) and the occasionally healthy dose of hi-performance gameplay .

They are not same. Intel 5820k is very powerful CPU as compared to Fx-9370. Stick with Intel's build if you have budget.

any content creation like video editing, adobee etc. I would go with the intel, if its just gaming the AMD will do just fine.......... however the 9370 needs a good cooler

If you can afford it Intel is the way to go. AMD do make good processors just they're usually just targeting those on a budget

The i7-5820K hands down between the two. The FX-9XXX CPU's aren't worth the money consider the heat (220W), the cost of cooling (Even AMD stresses water cooling), and the limited motherboards that support it. If you do go AMD, the FX-8350. Most can be easily overclocked to the FX-9370 level, and don't require massive cooling.

If you can afford it the Intel will destroy the AMD in everyway the Intel's 6 cores will muktithread better then amds 8 as it runs 12 threads from amds 8

Alright , I'll be turning my eyes into the Intel CPU's then .
Thank you all so much .

I have a 9590 with a 290x in a saber tooth motherboard. Works good but honestly support for intel is far better I use it for gaming on 2560x1440 get the job done for the most part. But when it comes to crossfire support and bugs is the order of the day same with setting a raid array on the other part on a Intel platform those are way better to set up. Heat is another problem I have like 6 or 7 fans on a carbide r400 case just to keep it cool the card won't go past 87c with a custom curve and is relatively quiet plus the cpu while holds a high tdp is super easy to cool with a h100i and it fairly quiet as well I don't regret building an amd system but with the fx line showing age I would look somewhere else (Intel) until they come up with something better
