I can not think of a single reason anyone wanting a gaming rig would go Intel over AMD.
Given i`m not the brightest, but AMD beat Intel in every benchmark at every price point and comparable product by a country mile. Add in the you can easily overclock AMD whilst Intel lock their chips down gives even more reason.
I get why people are Apple junkies even though there are better phones on the market (Apple has a great OS for one) but with a CPU for a PC it just doesn't compute (I thank you)!

Just to clarify here as a long time Intel guy who's recently decided to do the next build as Ryzen...
Intel pound for pound has had a stronger single core IPC so their lower cost/core chips have performed better specifically for most gaming applications.
Overclocking is also not at all locked down on the K chips...and overclocking is crazy easy. I actually reduced my vcore and still got a stable 4.8ghz overclock on my 7700k on the first try. Got as high as 5.2 but had to increase vcore and didn't see much improvement in most games.
That being said AMD has come a LOOOOOONG way and their Ryzen Zen 3 architecture looks like they might truly have intel beat. Given intel's business decisions I very much want to support AMD as the little guy fighting the giant in the industry. Good for them, and I'm ready to give them my money on my next build. (FOR CPU LOL)
