Intel CPU's are used more often with game development due to the high power capacity compared to AMD. Think about it, if you don't tramp out on something as vital as a CPU, then it will last you that one extra year.
Also, I HIGHLY recommend an AIR Cooler. Noctua being one of THE best. It performs a lot better then the Corsairs and it is quieter/ cheaper and is even better then cheap water cool kits.
