I am building a PC for the first time, and can't decide which processor to go with. I will be using this PC for gaming only, and will not be over clocking. Now, I know that generally Intel outperforms AMD, but is the difference worth the extra 80-100 dollars? I have also heard that AMD is more likely to fluctuate in clock speed, is this true? And since I will most likely be upgrading my CPU, will it be smarter to go with Intel, or will AMD continue to release new CPU's that can compete with Intel or will I be stuck changing my motherboard and my CPU? In addition, does anyone have any other advice on my build?
Here it is:

Note: the CPU and motherboard are not there since, obviously I'm undecided.

Thanks

I have an amd chip and i dont get any clock rate fluctuations. I would og with the amd and save some money and spend that on an after market cooler. This will allow you to overclock and the 8350 overclocks like a beast you may even be able to out perform some intel chips.:)
