Tbh, I'd go with AMD any day of the week. Sure an Intel chip is going to be faster, but you tend to have more cores with an AMD chip and it's cheaper. For the motherboard, definitely stick with a name brand, something with overall good reviews. I've had 2 gigabyte boards now and neither have given me a single problem, so I'd recommend it over an ASUS.

I just upgraded my PC not too long ago this year. Here's what I ended up with using a similar budget:

Also ,when you think about a power supply, make sure it's not an off brand and look for an 80+ rating. This will make for a more efficient PSU and result in a smaller energy bill.
For hard drives, I'd suggest a relatively small SSD for the OS/programs and a standard SATA drive for additional storage.
