The Intel build is better than the AMD build.

Remember, you're going to need a graphics card.

Also, do not get a single 8GB stick of RAM, get 2 4GB sticks or it won't run at full speed.

The RAM is dual-channel so requires 2 channels being used to run at it's full capacity, 1 stick will just be making it slower.

The Intel setup is twice as good

The 5800K is more comparable to the lower end i3.

The benchmarks don't even show the i5 it is that far a head and only compares the chip with the i3 chips.
