Roughly the same. The way it works is, for the same general
performance level, the Intel processor will be a little more
expensive.

However, there tends to be a better selection of bargain-priced
motherboards for Intel CPUs. So if you shop carefully, you can usually
save a little on the motherboard for an Intel CPU, with nearly identical
features, compared to a AMD CPU Motherboard.

For most builds, you will find that the cost difference is
negligible...or at most about 5% more for the Intel system.

Keep in mind that all components other than the motherboard and CPU are
identical price. -Dave

Well it is quite easy to work out. Take off the cost of the Intel
board/chip and
substitute for the AMD.
Do you really need someone to tell you that?

Do you play games? IN general, AMD systems are cheaper than Intel, at
the expense of a bit of performance.

I was waiting for the poster to post the specs.
All you posted was the price you are going to spend.
