i'm on a tight budget since i could not afford a core i5 these are my choices .
choice 1
AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard
zotac gtx 750ti
choice 2
Intel i3 3220 3.3 GHz
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
zotac gtx 750ti
i just need a very good overall system for purposes like web browsing ,movie watching ,gaming(not fps gaming ) which should i go ?

FX 6300 isn't bad per say. If you intend to do a little overclocking, the FX 6300 is better in more multithreaded titles, once overclocked. That board can handle up to 3.9-4.0. It requires an aftermarket heatsink to do so. Not knowing how tight the budget was, I suggested the i3. Also my i3 4130 and board suggestion gives you a nice upgrade path later on. You could put a Xeon 1230v3 (i7 without igp) in that board and have quite a bit more overall performance. AM3+ doesn't have any worthy upgrade path.

actually i'm facing issues with the budget the amd fx 6300 costs RS 7791 and the motherboard costs RS 4154 but the i3 4130 costs RS 8321 and the motherboard Gigabyte GA-H81M-S1 costs RS 4200 so i need to sacrifice on the motherboard ,so is this motherboard good enough for gaming with stock cooler?
