If budget is a concern, you are probably better off with an AMD. Yes, Intel core processors outperform AMD's, but whether the difference is worth the premium depends entirely upon budget and price/performance payoffs.

The difference in your case, probably wouldn't justify paying an additional premium for the CPU. Not to the point where your CPU is the bottleneck for gaming performance anyway.

That's the thing, though. a 3.0GHz Athlon X2 costs as much as the E7200, which is Intel's budget processor. So which one is more powerful? I would guess E7200 so I might as well go Intel.
