Intel vs AMD........Confused

[koolpc]

Guys, going to build a new rig from scratch. At present i use a small laptop.

I am lost as to whether to go AMD or Intel.

Now, i am not a big gamer these days but would be interested in occasional gaming but no interested in high fps etc. Integrated GPU would be fine for me.

I have been an Intel man for years now. I see that Intel has a great following. Would i be wise to go for an i5 with HD 5500 graphics?

I did make a thread in the Small Form Forum but not sure if i will go that route now. I have to decide on a good CPU / Mobo combo. I do lean towards Intel. AMD 10 looks sweet but i am so confused.

Budget, i cant afford to spend £100s on these components but i am open to suggestions.

I will be building from scratch!!

Probably around £200 - £250 for CPU and Mobo. Trying to build for approx £400 max. Got SSD already.

I notice that the AMD Kaveri A10-7850K is approx £50 cheaper than a Skylake i5-6400 2.70GHz

Yea, Skylake seems like the way forward and the Intergrated GPU on it seems really nice.

I wont go full ATX. Maybe mATX and just maybe ITX.
