Well, usually with an intel build I see Nvidia cards like the GTX 550 or up rather than a Radeon card. If you were to give the intel build a gtx 560 ti or gtx 570 then I would go with the Intel build. Otherwise, they are pretty evenly matched with perhaps the AMD build having an edge when it comes to graphics/gaming.

Although I'd rather go with an Intel build if you up the GPU.

Also, 700w is a little bit of an overkill if you don't plan on using SLI. You can probably do with a little less to save some cash.
