Just a check on Newegg, and you can get a Phenom 955 with a Gigabyte 770 motherboard for 239 bucks. Comparatively, you can get an i5-750 and a cheap Asus P55 for 298.00.
As someone who has a 955, I've been completely satisfied. Plus, AMD's 'Overdrive' utility is great for easy, automated overclocking for certain programs like GTA4.
But really, if you can swing for the Intel, go for it, because the i5-750 is the best chip in its category. On the other hand, saving 60 bucks could mean the difference between a 5830 and a 5850, or even an SSD.
