    Most programs you will be running don't actually need much CPU horsepower. Browsers and MS Office really don't hog CPU resources, but they do hog RAM. Besides, gaming while using MS Office is a really unlikely scenario. Besides, you can get an i5 in your price range. Also, the AMD CPUs, while they do have more cores than their similarly priced intel competitor products (G3258 vs X4 860k for instance), have really poor single threaded performance so that it's not really a whole bunch better. 4 cores right now is the sweet spot for what you really need with gaming and everyday usage. An i5 wins every time for this kind of purpose if you can afford it, which you can.
