Any thoughts? I know video cards are more important/the limiting factor usually in gaming, so I was leaning towards the AMD setup. The cheaper CPU gives me more money to spend on the GPU. I could spend more on the CPU and GPU, but am challenging myself to keep the budget constrained below $1,100.
 
Solution
you can get a 770+8350
btw, if you are tight on budget, you can get a 8320 instead of 8350 - it has the same silicon, just lower frequency, and its cheaper. You can OC it by yourself to 8350 level or higher.

i'd say go for 4670K with 280X :bounce:
but if they dont fit in your budget together, then go for 8350+280X thats much smoother for gaming...

Thanks for the feedback so far.

The 4670K has come down in price ... I'll wait to see when newegg refreshes it's inventory. 280x are all out of stock!

If I could get an FX8530+280X for $450 I'd jump on it.

So are you suggesting do an 8320 + 770 instead of 8350 + GTX760/270X?

Can you also suggest a motherboard for ~$125 or less for the 4670K and the 8320/8350?

Thanks!
