Personally, I run Intel. However, looking back now, with more experience in computing, I'd definitely have gone with AMD. AMD is cheaper and, contradictory to popular belief Intel isn't 'better' they're basically the same. They run the same GHz. Also, most supercomputers run AMD, just to give you some perspective. Lastly, why buy a gaming PC when you can build one, its cheaper, and its really interesting.
Hope this helps,
