Just because it has more core's does not mean it is better. I have a i5-3550 @3.3ghz and it will perform better than most of AMD's Bulldozer Hexacores, proven in benchmarks. Although people have their preferences, in Intel vs AMD, Intel usually out does AMD both in performance and reliability.
Choose wisely, make sure the motherboard supports the right sockets before you go out and buy the best one. If you're PC is old then RAM will probably need to be upgraded too, slow speed RAM will slow the CPU down.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. If you're going to buy a new video card too, check that your PSU can handle it all.
