If you wanna spend ~120$ more on the CPU, ~100$ more on the motherboard, and ~50$ more on the memory (or even more if you opt for DDR2 with the AMD system, since it only makes like 5% of a difference either way), and to end up with a platform that Intel sure as hell won't be supporting as long as AMD will be supporting AM3, for limited performance gains if you aren't doing anythign that takes advantage of all 8 threads, then sure.
Which, is the case with gaming - you're better off saving the money and buying a better/second video card than breaking the bank over an LGA 1366 system.
