AMD or INTEL?

I am looking to build a new computer for my self soon and I hear 2 different sides everyone time I ask people.

AMD is better!!!

INTEL is better!!!

Is there a difference these days or is one just cheaper then the other?



Edit: I am looking for the best bang for my buck so to speak. I do a lot of video enditing, rendering, gaming, frapsing, I do a weekly live podcast, and I am wanting to run 2 monitors.

I would be keeping my GTX 460 and upgrading my mobo, case, ram and CPU. Not sure I need to upgrade my PSU.

Either one would be fine.

Performance is somewhat tied to cost. Higher cost equaling higher performance.
But in a budget build you can get a nice system without top end parts.

List all the parts your keeping for a suitability check.
Like, if you have a PATA/IDE DVD/CD burner - not all motherboards have those connections any more.

The only part I would be saving with be my GTX 460 and my PSU if I do not need a new one. I would be starting from ground up with getting a new case, mobo, HD(using my other sata HD for video capture only), ram, CPU, and a new CD/DVD bunner.

Either Intel or AMD would do fine, though if your budget allows, I would opt for Intel.

Intel has much higher performance, that's for sure. But if you're on a tight budget, AMD will do just fine :)

Ill check that out thank you.

I just want to make sure that if i do go the i5 core way I will be set for a good amount of years.

You'll definitely be set for the next 4-5 years (?)

Get a 'K' version of the i5 along with an aftermarket cooler to overclock and you'll be set for a good while :)
