The 8320 is but only because of the 280x. If you put the 280x on the 4670k build that would be the best. You might even be able to find a 280x/7970 GHz or 7970 vanilla for about the same price as a brand new 270x if you are willing to go used since there are a bunch them floating around on ebay due to the litecoin mining crash earlier this year which forced thousands of miners to sell their Radeons at a huge loss. Most of them are less than 6 months old. Try the US ebay site and look for sellers that ship overseas for free or cheap. There are hundreds of 280xes for $200 USD or less.
