It's not a good price comparison.  The AMD box is constructed with much cheaper periphs.  

• The motherboard is $100 cheaper than the intel version
• The memory is $200 cheaper than the intel version
• The graphics card is $130 cheaper than the intel version

If it were apples to apples (processor only significant difference), it would be $430 closer, or $270.  In which case I'd say it's a no brainer, go with the Intel version.

Side note, you should be very suspicious of a vendor that pitches you such a lopsided bid like that.

edit: uh, the dollar values I just gave are in US dollars, but at any rate, it's an apples to oranges comparison, the AMD box you're looking at is simply made with dinky parts compared to the Intel box.
