Thanks Alot !!
1 more question though. Which will be a better choice(both are of the same price) :
(1) the one as mentioned above, or
(2) changing the cpu to amd 6300 + additional 120gb ssd

@prit87
Thanks, i do get your point that i5 is a better cpu, but will the 2nd option be better if i only have a fixed budget (in this case the both of them will come down to the same price)

A core i5 will beat the FX-6300 any day of the week. And I've built a PC with the R9 280X in it and it has no issue maxing out any game on the market in 1080p(biggest monitor I have right now), and it should do pretty well on a 1440p display.

Edit: If it's all you can afford, for the price the 6300 is a good CPU, though it's nothing extraordinary like a good i5 or i7.

Edit 2: Downgrading the CPU for the sake of an SSD will make boot times faster, and things you click on will load faster, but it won't do anything for the graphical quality or gameplay of games past the loading screens.

I would go with a better cpu cooler like the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo.

i have already told u i will prefer the first build changing your cpu from i5 4690 to fx 6300 is a downgrade ....if u want to go with amd get the 8350 and 990 chipset board...i can understand u have fixed budget in that case stick with your first built u can always save money and buy a ssd later..

I have one mounted to my FX-6300. But I wouldn't say upgrade coolers are required, but I do recommend them for silence and/or overclocking.

Though the Hyper 212 has a crap fan with it, you can put any 120mm case fan on it. My 212 Evo's fan started ticking after the first day of use. Which I put a CM Silent 120(I had an extra laying around) on it and it's silent, and cool.
