AMD fans will never admit that getting an Intel cpu would be better, even after AMD's failure to consistently match Intel's performance from an overall perspective. The thing is, AMD isn't doing too well financially, and they will never be what they once were. If AMD goes down, the fanboy reaction will be the sweetest thing to watch. I'm telling you, these AMD fanboys would rather opt for an inferior product than support Intel or Nvidia. They console themselves by saying it's value for money. I've had first hand experience in this.

AMD might be inferior to intel, but only in your fantasies will AMD ever be beaten by nvidia. AMD cards have been superior to nvidia cards for a long time now, and its the reason I always go with Intel and Radeon for my combos. Some people prefer the brand name of "nvidia", but for me I go for the better performing card at the best price, and nvidia has always lost that battle (except 1 time with the geforce 460, which I did purchase). Radeon is the only thing keeping AMD on life support, other wise they'd be buried in the ground by now.
To the OP: I say definitely the core i5 3570k is a great cpu, now doubt about i, go for it you will enjoy. However its not like you will be dissapointed with the fx-8350 pile driver either. I suggest going for the fx-8320 which you can OC to the same speeds as the fx-8350 but will cost $30 less or so.
