Spratster :
Intel far better than AMD at the moment although something like the i7 4960X is the -Best- CPU for gaming at the moment
i7 For Gaming Is A Total Waste And Overkill
And That Is The Extreme i7 CPU
U Dont Use It For Gaming
But That Dosent Mean U Cannot Or Should Not
Just Save The Money Go i5 And Invest On The GPU Since GPU > CPU For Gaming
Well Unless Ur Rich And Can Just Shell Out The Money
