It's very close performance, but the E4300(P.S Also Overclocks like a Dog) takes the lead many times. check the charts your self too

Normally I'd go with Intel, but since you don't overclock and have a limited budget maybe AMD is a good idea too. AMD motherboards tend to be cheaper than Intel motherboards, so overall you may save some cash with AMD. Either will be fine, throw a coin :lol:

Sound advice - either will do, but AMD mobo will be slightly cheaper.

You also get more chance of being able to keep your mobo when upgrading your CPU in the future.
