Both are equally good.
AMD comes a bit cheaper than Intel though.

If you are concerned about gaming , focus on your graphics card (GPU) more rather than your cpu.

As others have pointed out, for gaming, you should also look at the graphics cards, and not just CPUs.
Then there is always budget constraints... AMD CPU based systems tend to be less expensive than Intel (atleast here in US anyway).
