For right now the AMD build will perform better.

That said I would not buy it. That CPU series is on the way out, there is no upgrade path and as games require a better CPU that AMD will be left in the dust. The Intel is significantly faster.

IMO save up a little bit more money to get the Intel build with a better GPU than the one you selected. AMD FX right now is a waste of money.

It is dual core but it has hyperthreading which allows it to behave as a quad core in many applications.

For gaming you do not need multi core cpus, single core performance has the highest effect on performance of most games. Its because of how games are (linear) where concurrent threads aren't really needed. The i3-6100 has been proven to benchmark in games faster than even the fastest AMD FX processors.

And in 2-3 years you can buy an i7 processor and drop it right in and have a great immediate upgrade.

The AMD build will work better for gaming The graphics card on the one with the intel processor seems to be too slow for modern gaming. That is my opinion though. Depends on what games you want to play.
