AMD processors are significantly worse than Intel, but it's like the difference between the 0-60 speed on a ferrari vs a porsche...both are overkill and you'll never use it for gaming so save a buck.
Honestly if you wanted to build the cheapest machine that will crush EQ with ease, just buy one of the AMD APUs and leave out the video card entirely. Then you're getting the video card/proc at around $150 together, do 8 gigs of RAM at like $40, buy a 60 gig SSD for like $50, PSU for $30-40, mobo for under $100 and you're sitting around $400 if you buy a case. $500 if you buy the OS.
Also if you have a Microcenter in your area you will get the CPU/mobo cheaper than anywhere online even after tax. Plus they will price match newegg on other things, you can sometimes get a demo model case and stuff.
