Unless you're going for a very budget built, cpu wise Intel > AMD. AMD just haven't been competitive in the mid/high segment in a while.

On the GPU side however, you'd be foolish to blindly limit yourself to either AMD or Nvidia. Both puts out good products and often trade leads in perfermance and cost effectiveness. Current, it would make little sense for one to get a 770 rather than a 280X, unless you just feel like paying extra money for the same performance and a different badge.
