Many AMD users suggested I should use this operating system. Are 14.04 and 14.04.5 the same, and if not which should I use?

14.04 is the base version. 14.04.5 is the latest of 5 incremental updates to 14.04. It includes newer packages (maybe a newer kernel), but that's about it. 14.04.1-5 are there so that people can install 14.04 with the updates pre-packaged, so fewer updates are needed post-install.

So, yes, 14.04 and 14.04.5 are the same, because 14.04.5 is 14.04. It just has updated packages that those using the first release of 14.04 would have to install.
