Depends entirely on what you need it to do--

If you're going to be using extremely high-end, heavily threaded applications, then an i7 may be your best bet, due to its extensive performance. A cheaper alternative for extremely threaded applications is the cheaper FX 8-core processors.

Other than this, your rundown becomes budget vs performance. AMD Phenom II quad cores are an excellent budget part, and are still performing on a level relevant in today's world.

Intel parts take the cake performance-wise almost universally, but are typically far more expensive pound-for-pound.
