What computer should I choose?

Go with AMD-.-' They can be cheaper and have benchmarks results within a decent range of the I7's(lower end). They can outbeat I5 and I3(the CPU did in some areas).
Go with the AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition(Actually...the 965). It can be $30-$40 cheaper than the I5. The CPU can provide more frames than some of the Intel Cores(along with a decent GPU)..unless you are a content creationalist. Then I would suggest the I5.
One difference between the two is the clock speed. Phenom II X4 has a higher clock speed than I3, or I5(in gigahertz). This means the Phenom can be faster than the two Intel's if you can provide decent cooling. I would suggest at least 3 fans.
When it comes to video cards..I would go with a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5830. Note...the brand is Sapphire. It goes for $200 for high performance.
Hopefully this helps.

Remember to lookup the benchmarks for your CPU to find out which is best!
The cache of AMD Phenom = bad.
