Guild Wars 2

My old AMD phenom (not II)/ motherboard died wednesday before thanksgiving (sucks) since neither can be updated (not sure which is actually bad) I need to do a big upgrade. I will need a CPU, motherboard and memory. Everything else is good. But should I go with the I5 or AMD 8350. From what i priced so far I can get both sets for about $400. Any suggestions would be nice.

Go for I5.
GW2 for some reason doesn’t go really well with AMD CPUs, also games in general works better with Intel CPUs.

After researching last year to upgrade my computer, the consensus seemed to be get an I5. GW2, and a lot of other games it seems, runs better on Intel than AMD. And the extra cores with the AMD will not help much with GW2. I hear it is mainly a single thread application, which the I5 will run much better.
