Right now intel is better for gaming (with their processors). Their gpu's are fine.

Depends on how much you want to spend. The nvidia equivalent of the 280/280x is the 960 but it is 30$ and performs more or less the same.

I have an i3 4360 and a radeon hd 7750 2gb and I run bf4 Medium-High 1400x900 60fps. So you should probably be able to get High-Ultra.

Intel isn't better for your budget. AMD is the superior choice in this case.
