What is your budget? If you do Photoshop and video editing you would be better off with an Intel processor.

 

[ashkore21]

My budget is like 800. Usa. Why intel?

 

[PP Mguire]

More cycles per clock, in general it's simply faster. For games it's faster because single threaded performance lacks in the FX line, and Intel simply dominates in CPU intensive tasks. With 800 you can get a 2500k 560ti based rig rather easily off Newegg.
