i am a little confused about which of the two GPUs to pick for my processor AMD FX 8320
i had a few extra bucks to spare so i thought i would spend it on a better GPU ie. the GTX 770
i hope the CPU will not bottleneck the GTX 770
if so i could go with the GTX 760

or would you suggest going with the GTX 760 and spend the extra money on some other components
here is my build:

CPU-FX 8320
GPU-MSI GTX 770 TWIN FROZER
MoBo-MSI 99FXA GD 65
PSU- CORSAIR GS700w
RAM-CORSAIR VENGEANCE 4*2=8GB
HD-WDany suggestions for changes are welcome
thankyou!

GTX 760 is a beast you will not have any problem, GTX 770 will give 10-15 more FPS in some games.
But i have a Gigabyte GTX 760 and i can play BF4 Ultra 1920x1080.
I Suggest you to look for R9 290 if you can find it in the same money.
Otherwise if u have some bucks buy the GTX 770.

In battlefield 4 fx 8320 on stock will definetely bottleneck even gtx 760 in some maps :) though when I put mine to 4.5(250x18) it sorted problems with r9 270 :). Depends ofc on the games and resolution you are playing. If you are playing 1440p or higher you should look for amd solution, though gtx 760 should be more than enough for 1080p 60hz gaming. :)

An FX 8320 can handle a GTX 780 with no problems. I personally run my rig at 1080p on a 19 inch monitor, so dont ask me about higher resolutions. But, I still I know this: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-3330-vs-AMD-FX-8320

lol dude, you compare a 3 years old Intel CPU and a bad one with an Octa Core AMD and wins only for 0.1 points. Try to compare it with a new one like 4690 and you will see the difference. The single core power from Intel can't compare with any AMD processor.

If you look at the bench marks, the AMD counterpart is almost at the same level as the Intel CPU, and even beats it in passmark. Dont look at single core performance. That's stupid. You'd never use only a single core on an 8 core cpu. Bad idea. Plus, the price/ performance ratio for the AMD is AMAZING.

Intel Price: $220
