What are you planning on doing? Are you planning to OC? Is there a difference in the price of the processors and their respect motherboards?

What resolution are you running at as that determines what you need for a graphics card.

No i am not planing to over clock. The 2 AMD CPU's are the same price but i will pay for the intel if it is significantly better

I will not be going over 1600x1200
