Nice edit OP

This shouldn't even be a question. AMD has always been the better 'budget' option. The 2700x is a great chip for a moderate workstation.

Depends, if you find an Intel workstation in a skip then you have the cheapest option of all if it's easy to get working ;)

@Curious Pineapple But which would you prefer ?

Just replaced an FX machine with a dual Xeon workstation that I got for practically free but only because 16 threads is better than 6. I've always preferred AMD due to the higher performance for the same price, but the FX was mistake as nothing really takes advantage of it.
