AMD vs Intel

Hello, I'm really curious on why so many people dislike AMD processors. I myself have only ever bought pre-built computers with Intel cpu's in them. But that being said i haven't had much of a choice.

I'm thinking about building my first computer with a $2000 limit (that i aim to hit around that target, don't want to budget to hard). I have been told for a close friend that he likes the AMD FX-8350 and from the looks of it i dont mind it myself (not knowing too much about the finer details of computer hardware, tho i want to learn more about it).

I have suggested the AMD FX-8350 with an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Mother board to run it in elsewhere but they just shoot me down about an AMD chip and suggest Intel chips. I would love for someone on here to actually explain to me why this is so bad compared to a Intel chip and motherboard around the same price.

I also have my heart set on the Powercolor 7990 GPU to run with the AMD chip and the ASUS Mobo (I know the 7990 is over kill for just gaming, but ive just fallen in love with it haha. This computer will hopefully be lasting me for at least 12-24 months and i don't want to struggle running any games that i choose to play in that time range). I am currently running my Samsung 32" 3D Smart TV as my main monitor, But i really do plan on getting at least 3x 23"+ monitors for Eyefinity. I'm not certain on the tv being able to run as 120HZ as a monitor, But even if it cant it will do until i get the cash for a good monitor setup.

Not exactly sure on if i have asked the right questions to get the answers i am looking for, but this is roughly what i want to know im guessing. (Really tired and currently sick)
Also if you would like to leave any suggestions for a Rig that includes the powercolor 7990 in it that you think would work well let me know below.

Thanks for reading this noobs topic  

EDIT - I also will be reusing 16GB of 1333 Ram and my current 2tb HDD
