Hey guys i live in brazil and im building a new gaming pc:

Here the prices are pretty high (thanks taxes), so my question is: Prices converted to U$.

I3 4130 (160$) + MB Gigabyte (90$) = 250$ using stock cooler

FX 6300 (170$) + MB ECS (90$ 760G chipset) + Aftermarket cooler 40$ = 300$
Note, in ECS MB (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail...) it didnt show 6300 support bios so i dont know if it work or not. The "replacement" is a Asus 90$ WITHOUT PCIE 2.0 (chipset 760G too), the cheapest 970 chipset i found is asus 210$ bumping cost to 420$ witch isnt worth it anymore =/

Im gonna pair it with a Gtx 660 Direct CU II - playing on 1080p games like BF4, Dota 2, Assassins Creed, etc

You can see that they have small differences and they are close enough. So you can save 50$ and take the I3.

BUT !
You can save even more and take better GPU.

Thanks for the quit reply :)  unfortunately there isnt a microcenter in Brazil and they didnt sell the X4 750K. Here the prices are usually 2 times or more than US. I think i will buy the 4130 but i will wait for 1 or 2 more replies. Thanks again mate :)

I would take the i3 4130 over the FX6300 even if the price was the same.

Since you cannot seem to find decent parts for a decent price for the FX 6300, I would go i3 as well. FX 6300 is a bit better of a chip for BF4, but not enough at the cost it would take to go with one for you.

Last questions guys, is the R9 270X (380$) worth extra 65$ over the GTX 660 (315$) and the Corsair CX430 can handle the set up if i go with R9?

I will let you look at the benchmark comparison for the two to decide on whether it is worth it. Build your intended system in pcpartpicker and it will give you a wattage estimate.
