Is the AMD processor better than the intel? or is it just not worth the price?

i5s always beat out the fx series but at that price point id recommend it so you can get a better gpu

Cheaper than the 770 and performs on par.

Also with the money saved get a better psu.

All this is in the 1000$ budget but i would get a gtx770/280x and go slightly over budget.
