i prefer to using AMD MSI R280X and i have a 23" 1920X1080 monitor, then there is a question in CPU and MB,

i am looking forward to BF4 and GTA5, hopefully it can play most of game in mid-high quality in coming 2 years.

there are some choices.

AMD 6-Core FX-6300 with 980 OC it with a better cooler (around $30-$40)
AMD 8-Core FX-8320 with 980 OC with AMD cooler
Intel Core i5-4440 with B85
Intel Core i5-3470 with B75

is it close performance in after OC 6300 then 8320? or buy 8320 without addition cooler?
is it need to get a better PSU for OC in AMD list, if i choose Intel, i wont OC it.
 
Solution
i would err on the side of the 6300 and use the left over money on a cooler and better graphics card. 7790 is the lowest card I would recommend for those games. All about what you can afford.
