I would go for the 6300 + 280x. It will perform the best in gaming.

Honestly if your looking for it to be a bit cheaper just go with the 760. The difference in fps is not really to great. Maybe 10 fps loss on most games although for some reason the 760 kicks the 280x in the teeth when it comes to crisis 3.

okay i just saw many youtube videos ... the conclusion .. 760 played most of the games at around 45 to 50 fps ( mostly at highest settings) while 280 x played the same at 60 fps at highest settings...is 50fps smooth enough ???

30 fps is the minimum you want to play at for a smooth experience, however it is good to aim for 60fps then it will align with your monitors 60hz refresh rate. 50 fps will deliver pretty smooth gameplay though.
