I am going to upgrade my pc, here are my current specs

CPU: AMD A6-3600
GPU: GTX 550ti
PSU: 540w no name brand
MOBO: default that came with the processor (shitty)
RAM: 8gb no name brand

What I am wondering, is on a budget, 4670k or Fx 8350. I want this build to last and run games on high for years. I am currently upgrading as so...

CPU: Fx 8350 or i5 4670k
GPU: R9 280x dualx 3gb oc
PSU: 750w cosair
MOBO: I have no idea.

Please help me decide what is wrong with my build and what I need to do to fix it, and suggest a mobo thats cheap but solid.

Thought I would mention, I am Canadian, and prices for us are much higher, can you buy things on amazon.com from Canada?

Same here in Australia it's bloody expensive. Most Amazon distributors do international shipping. But it will cost. You will need an account though.

Here's a quick link or you can search it up.

I've got a memory express here, unless amazon has no taxes, I'll buy it from there, so nothing other than this motherboard is wrong with my build? Which cpu should I go with?

Here is the info for taxes in Canada- http://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=918716
Sorry I am not from Canada.

Tbh, I am an intel fan and have a 4790K which is almost similar to the 4670 K. I would go with the intel.

Use http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ and place your parts in and it will tell you if any components in not compatible. (I might do this now for you)

But here are some statistics:
