First, excuse me for my english, I write from Colombia.I need help.
I have an athlon x2 245 2.9 ghz, and my pc need upgrade,I not decided about i5 4670k or fx 8320/50. many people says "Intel is better and AMD is bad". It is almost certain that i5 is a little better than fx, but i think, this does not mean that fx is a bad processor and in games have some lags and work in this is slow; and price difference in Colombia is about 50 usd. Originally I consider processor for gaming i dont play much, but play heavy games: hitman absolution, crysis 2,3, (i can play decently crysis 3 with my processor with hd 5770 vaporx [medium settings, and delay in chapters loading, but i can play], GPU is more important, or not?) because new games with watch dogs, titan falls, and others need more power and my pc not have.

Additionally now i work in a website (webmaster) and i need open different internet browsers and tabs, notepad++, edit some images, open google drive, skype, word or excel, webserver, programming, etc.
Finally my question is if, for this work i need fx for multitasking although the i5 seems better in general (mainly in games) fx has good performance, or get i5? I want a pc for 3/4 years without upgrade some parts, money saved with fx can used for a gtx 760/760, many people says that fx 8350 is bottleneck this cards, i dont believe, is true?

ok, the fx 83XX are great chips, not bad at all. for your purposes, an fx 8320 seems best for you, i wouldnt spend the extra $30 for the 8350, it is the same chip, the 8320 is just downclocked, and use that $30 for a good cooler like coolermaster hyper 212 evo. the i5 4670k is a little faster yes, but you do not need that extra power and will get better performance with an fx 8320 and a better gpu. also, an fx 8320 will not bottleneck any graphics card, not even a titan, unless you are using a very cpu intensive task.
