AMD's price:performance ratio is damn good, though Intel is closing the gap somewhat. That's been the case for more than 5 years though (that I can personally remember).
Personally, it's a matter of how much I want to spend. £1000+ for a computer means it'll likely be Intel. £500+ means it'll likely be AMD.
I can't say as it really makes a great deal of difference. Neither manufacturer offers any 'must have' feature, in your case.
If you wanted the fastest PC, you'd have to spend £800+ just on the CPU (Intel). I'm happy with whatever CPU generally costs less than £120 at that particular moment. Anything above that and you're well into the realm of the law of diminishing returns.
