Not looking at overclocking at all just want a simple cheap cpu and gpu that can handle games at atleast high settings tossing up is if should get the FX-4100-4350 or the FX-6100-6300 as for gpu's im trying to deicide if i should use the
GTX 550-650 or The HD 7770-7850

wont be able to play at very high resolutions just 1280x1024

Also i live in Newzealand so parts aint as cheap here but if u know any shops that can import to Newzealand please feel free to list em

Just grab a i3-3220/3225. Yes, I know it's dual core but the AMD CPUs you listed (at stock - not overclocked) under perform compared to i3s.

Since you are gaming on a 1280x1024 then you don't need a really expensive GPU. I'd get a 7770 or 650ti boost.
