I currently own both a 2600k with a 6970ati and a 965 amd with a 5830ati . I much prefer to surf the net and play most games on the amd rig with the exceptions being the battlefield games BFBC2 and BF3. They are the only ones that show a big enough difference in minimum frame rate to effect game play. I mean , they both have enough power to push fps in most games to the point it doesn't really matter, e.g. its hard for me to notice a difference between 900 fps and 450 fps in CSS .
I feel a slight hesitation in the way my mouse reacts on the intel rig..... can't explain it, but it really screws me up on some fps games ( i have alienware tact X mice on both). It's the main reason I spend 90% of my time on the amd rig.
For gaming, unless you are considering a new system with a multi-gpu setup, then I think you are fine with what you have
For other uses, well its just up to you if you want to shave a minute or two off the time it takes to encode a video etc. Intel has an advantage in things like that.
Good luck with your decision
