[Gaming Pc] Intel or AMD CPU?

[katsas]

you should go with 3570k and a better gpu. The reason not to go i7 or the i5 4670k ( the haswell ) is cause the haswells are worse at oc than the ivy bridges. For example with the i5 3570k and an aftermarket cpu cooler example : 212 evo (cheap and good quality cooler ) u can oc to 4.5 easily. So if i were u i would go for the 3570k or the i7 one but ivy bridge and get a better gpu.

If you can afford it, then intel beats AMD. i5 vs i7 in gaming doesn't give much boost, but for mass botting the difference is huge.

What better could he get than 2x 7970? MAybe 7990 insted of 2 7970's but yeah, Even 1 7970 is enough for almost anything out there.

Intel i5 for gaming but it's important to know if you play a lot of different games and only specific ones like WoW for example.
You can check CPU benchmark for WoW here: AnandTech | Bench - CPU

Clearly you can see the superiority of Intel (for WoW at least). Same goes for the video card. Make sure to buy hardware that are best for the game(s) you play.
