Hello TH! I am having my pc build by my friend, and on my budget, I can either go for
1) i5-4690(non-K) with a HIS IceQ X2 Radeon R9 270X 2 GB
or
2)AMD-FX 8320 with XFX Black Edition Double D OC AMD Radeon R9 280(non X) 3GB

Thanks!

The i5 has better single threaded performance, which current and past games prefer. That said, we're beginning to see video games that want eight threads, due to the whole PS4/XB1 debacle.

What will you be using the computer for? Gaming, I assume?

No word that I've come across , the FX 9000 series is like putting a volcano on your board.
