which is better Intel or AMD?

[vangeodee]

all comes down to preference.

If naa kay limited budget, then you should go for which is more powerful at that range.

ex: you have a 6k-8k budget, and you can choose from the two
Intel Q8400 2.66G 4mb - 7700
AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0G 8mb - 7070

now which would you choose?

prices are taken form PCX SRP price list.

It's like NVidia versus ATI/AMD. Sometimes one is ahead sometimes the other, currently Intel, but not too long ago, AMD was ahead.

Like others said, build around your needs and budget, you can't build your setup based on brand alone.

According to this chart:

PassMark Intel vs AMD CPU Benchmarks - High End

Of your two setups, the AMD beats the Intel (taking into account just the CPU, nothing else). Personally, if close ang prices, I'd take the AMD.
