The GTX 760 is much better than the GTX 750 Ti. So I would say the i3.

How about an i5 4440 with an r9 270x? Only a little slower than the GTX 760, faster and often priced similar to a GTX 750ti.

Well, the 4570 is just 5 bucks more than the 4440 but I´m kinda undecided about the R9 270x since I dont really trust AMD gpus anymore.

I´m buying everything off newegg.

Not sure what there is not to trust. Just avoid ones made by gigabyte, is my rule. I have 2 HD 5850's and a 7970, all Sapphire. I had to replace the fan on one of the 5850's the other day. It was probably the top card, when I had it in CF mode in my main rig. As much use as those cards have, a fan replacement didn't bother me. I still have an HD 3870 that works just fine, too. Not to say I don't own any Nvidia. Have a GT 240 and GTS 450 that I keep around for spare video cards. The 450 was used in place of the 5850 that needed the fan until I got it replaced. I do want a couple GTX 750ti's just for power consumption to replace my HD 5850 in my file server and AMD rig.

Here take a look, this is the model I just saw on newegg:

I gotta admit I like the 2 Games that come with it, but that wouldn´t really compensate for a DOA card since I live outside of the USA and I´m gonna be using a courier service for it to arrive.

DO NOT get a r9 270x. Get the r7 270, it's the EXACT same card, just underclocked very slightly. If you know how to raise a slider in MSI afterburner, you save yourself about 30$ for the same damn GPU. Both overclock insanely well too. A 270 overclocked to its limit will almost always win against a 760 overclocked to its limit.

That´s interesting, but wouldn´t the r9 270x overclock even further than the 270?

I think you mean R9 270, there is no R7 270, doesn't exist

AH yes you're right. It is a r9 270. My bad. And Toshz, not necessarily. In the past they've done this before with GPUs, using the higher binned GPUs for the higher end one and the lower performing one as the lower end card. However, since AMD GPUs are already running at a much lower clockspeed than what they're capable of, AMD does not waste the time or money separating the two cards and just slap a different default clockspeed, name and price tag on them. You're just as likely to find a 270x that actually is out performed by a 270 when both are overclocked to their limit and vice versa.

Ok then, I guess I´ll go for the r9 270, wish me luck :) 

Thanks to everyone.
