I'm building a budget gaming rig. Also I would overclock 750K if necessary. How long will this rig play games on medium-high setting in 1080p? Will the CPU be bottleneck or should i go for FX 6300?

I dont know if it will bottleneck but I woudl strongly advise to go fx-6300 or for $25 more and fx-8320. The entire FM2/APU lineup is just not as strong of a cpu as the fx-serries. Once you are unhappy with the 750k or 760 then you have to replace motherboard and cpu

you shouldn't go any higher than an r7-260x with the x4 760k. i fully think you should squeeze out some budget for the fx6300 and the r9-270 as they would be a much better combo that will last you longer with great performance.
