Intel or AMD for web design and development

[hms8]

Hello everyone,

I am looking forward to upgrading my PC. My main target is web design and development. My secondary target is Windows Phone 8 and Android development and learning Linux.

P.S. my motherboard is: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-78LMT-S2P (Socket M2)

that motherboard only supports AMD, so that is the only way to go.
unless you get another motherboard

So is it better to get another motherboard and Intel processor? or keep this motherboard and get AMD processor?

well, AMD isn't bad by any means. Intel is always a better choice if you have buttloads of money.
you can get a good CPU for that motherboard that won't cost to much and will do everything you want.

i would say keep the motherboard, get an AMD.

Can you recommend a good CPU for what I mentioned?
