Im building a new pc soon and would like some advice, with the pc i would be doing a lot of gaming, video editing and some 3d modelling/photoshop.

Should i go with:
- Intel i5 with a gtx 760
or
- AMD fx6300 with an R9 270x
?

(Any advice or opinions will be very much appreciated)

if i do end up going with the fx6300 and the r9 270x, what sort of fps and settings do you think i will be able to get on high end games?

50-60 fps ultra high in most games, 30fps ultra high in high end games.

This is better than i5. Because it is i7. HT + 8 treads.
