??? I don't get it, the build with R9 280 costs just close to $500, which he said he will spend $500...

Why? Haha, even with extreme overclocking, it won't get to the same performance as with the R9 280.

And you can overclock with the R9 280 build, I'm sure you can overclock the FX 6300 atleast at 4.0GHz even with a stock cooler on ASUS M5A97 R2.0 (Unless he has a crappy PSU, Like Corsair CS, RM, CX,VS series). If he has atleast a XFX Pro/Core Edition/TS/ 550W then he's fine. Seasonic even better, S/M12II 520/620 and so on. Corsair AX/HX/TX are the only good ones I know from my experience.

I have a better question what are you actually going to be using this for? Usually the most important information to provide aside from a budget!

Slightly over budget but will last you along time.

Hense why I said slightly over budget, if he is going to buy a upgrade he might aswell get something worth upgrading to, if he spends $500 now and in 2 years needs to upgrade or $600 now and upgrades in 4 years which is the most cost effective?
