AMD Athlon X4 860K:

I'm looking for the best cpu for my money. I'm building my first general use/gaming pc ever :'). The pentium G3258 is slightly better performance wise, and has other advantages as well. It's also $10 cheaper, however my main concern is the number of cores in each processor.
I like to have many things running at once since I'm a person that constantly clicks between windows and multitasks quickly/regularly. I read online that the more cores your processor has, the more efficient it becomes at completing multiple tasks at once (if this isn't generally true please clarify). So, I was wondering if I should get the AMD quad core or the Intel duo core. Any thoughts?
