In most benchmarks for video rendering and Photoshop stuff etc. the Intel core i5 760 beats the 1055 about 70-80 percent of the time. Honestly since the i5 760 is only about 10 bucks more than the 1055T I would recommend choosing the i5 760 over the 1055T but in the end it comes down to what your budget is. Because 1156 socket MOBO's are more expensive than most AMD MOBO's so really its a trade off. Although assuming you're wanting to spend right around 200USD on your CPU I'm willing to bet that you're planning to spend about 800USD or so in total on you're build not counting your operating system. So if that's the case I'd say you should go with the i5 760, but either way you go I think you'll end up with a great PC.
