While the INTEL build comes to 532$ + tax (estimating) it comes around to 560$. On the other hand the AMD build comes to 434$ + tax (estimating)comes around to 470$ will the extra 90$ give me more?
KEY: This is a gaming pc for games such as Crossfire, Minecraft, GMOD (ALL HIGH TO LOW SETTINGS) , Maybe Battlefield and some high end games later on but (settings on low to mid on the higher end games). But this pc will also be used for everyday use such as Microsoft Office(Which i will get on my OWN that's why it's not included with the price) for school, internet browsing, multitasking on different tabs. This PC will have Windows 8/8.1 i have that on my own that's why it is not included into the price. THANK YOU!

Personally I would go for the Intel platform as the CPU will work better for gaming, is more power efficient and down the line could be upgraded to an i7 (That motherboard will also support Intel's next generation of Broadwell CPUs).  On the other hand the AMD one, although cheaper doesn't really have any better CPUs that you could upgrade to to get a decent performance improvement.

Also, that motherboard you have in the AMD build is extremely old technology and doesn't even support Native SATA III or USB 3.0.  For an AMD system you would need at least a board with a 970 chipset.

Would this work better for the AMD?  And well is AMD still a decent deal? What i have right now is
AMD Sempron 150 Processor ( 2.90GHZ)
2.00 GB RAM

That board would be perfect for the AMD system.

Either would be a massive upgrade from what you have now but from what I can tell the Intel based one will be a bit better in terms of gaming, efficiency and future expansion potential.

Thank you so much  , for the time and patience.

A word for AMD.
AMD is in second place, so they have to try harder.
Intel vs. AMD: Which brand of CPU should you choose when building a PC?

Generally speaking, AMD’s chips are cheaper than their Intel counterparts. If your budget is tight, an AMD CPU is likely the best way for you to go. Once you’re above the $150 price point, Intel processors offer quicker and more powerful performance overall. Cost efficiency on AMD chips drops off when you’re in that area. Intel Core i5 CPUs have an entry level price point of roughly $200.
