For gaming, CPU's dont really give you more performance. So as long as you have a GPU you'd be fine. 
For 3D modeling. I have found that more threads and more cores is a better choice. (also renders are RAM intensiv, for faster ram may help performance)
For General use, well if by general use you mean surfing the web, watching stuff and doing office applications all you'll ever need for that is an i3. Even then the i3 is overkill. :)

But if I would give a recommendation I'd go for the AMD build. :D

The Intel is better. I recommend you wait for the devil's canyon i5 update. There is no price difference.

You can go with Intel. No worries. But as I said, wait for the haswell refresh update.
