Looking For a New CPU

[iliani007]

Hi guys,
I was planing a build recently and the only thing i need now is a mother-board and a CPU.
I wonder what to get : INTEL or AMD.
I know this is a BIG question but i would like to give me some advices.
I've seen a lot of reviews but there the default choice is INTEL .
INTEL Everywhere 😛
I want a good CPU for gaming mostly and video rendering. (a lot of multitasking)
What is wrong with AMD that nobody likes that ?
I want to choose beetwen
AMD FX-8350 and Intel i5-4670k
I want a good performance , not a defective part.
What about upgrading? A CPU wont last for life ,(i will have it for 3-4 years)
Please guys give me some advice ...
And sorry for my bad english

My specs are :
256GB Samsung 840 Pro Series
2TB Seagate Barracuda
Gigabyte HD7970

1080p monitor
I will play all the upcoming games like
AC4 Black flag, watch dogs, and all the other games

The main problem with AMD's CPU is you need to overclock them a lot and use a lot more power to match Intel CPUs' stock performance in most games and applications.

As for "upgrading a CPU," I would give up on that idea: processing performance has been increasing much too slowly over the past ~5 years to be worth bothering with between platform upgrades. By the time a FX83xx or i5-4670k becomes "too slow" for you, you will want to upgrade your motherboard and RAM too since DDR4, USB3.1 and likely a few other interfaces will have been updated.
