Which processor/computer is better? AMD Phenom II x6 vs Intel Core i7

[vieya]

Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K (Model:BX80623I72600K)

OR

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT90ZFBGRBOX (Model:HDT90ZFBGRBOX)

I'm asking because I'm deciding between two computers. I don't know which one would be more worth the money.

These are the computers:

Intel Core i7 computer

OR

AMD Phenom II X6 computer

It's for general use, video editing, gaming, graphic work, etc.

The i7 is a stronger processor. The rest seems to be equivalent. You will need a good GPU no matter which you buy.

i7 by FAR! x2 that you get a strong GPU so you get the full benefit of the cpu which ever way you go.

Thanks guys do you think I can get just any graphics card? How would I determine if it can be used with my computer?
