Between these two build which is better
1. I5 4690, asrock h81 dgs, r9 270x,8gb ram, 1tb hdd, CM G650m
2. Fx 6300, asus m5a97 r2.0, r9 280x, 8gb ram, 1tb hdd, bequite pure power 600w

I'm gonna use it mainly for gaming, what i want to ask are
1. For gaming which of these build were better?
2.are there any noticeable different performance in anything between these two outside of gaming?
3. The performance of fx on stock and oc to 4.2-4.3 can it macth the raw power of the i5?
4. In game performance stutter,lagging etc for the two build?
5.i5 4690 or 4670k oc, since i heard intel doesnt gain much from oc, atleast no more than 10% maybe?
6.if i choose i5 in few months after maybe i will upgrade the mobo and bought another gpu n crossfire it, is it worth it or i just sell 270x and bought 280x, whixh option is better?

It's not always about the Ghz/Mhz.

And yes, 4590 will even beat 8350 at 4.5 Ghz.

1. I'd go with number 1, but with a H97 mb. The processor that you mentioned for number 1 is not a K series mb which does not overclock, an H97 mb would go with that.

2. Outside of gaming, the i5 would just be faster in multithreaded apps like internet browsing and such.

3. No, the FX can not match the raw power of the i5. There's just no way. I don't even think the 8350 will beat the raw power of the i5.

4. You'll see consistent FPS on the i5 more than the FX

5. I don't know about any of guys here in this site. I only advise overclocking when you're slapping another GPU in your system. But back on the topic, overclocking Intel CPU's will be much faster than just 10%. Specially if you can get the processor to 4.5+ Ghz? Whoo!
 
The i5 is better than the fx6300 even if you OC the bejeesus out of the fx. But the R9 280x is better than the the R9 270x - making it better for gaming.

Neither of the PSUs are very good. A H97 would be better than a H81 mobo.

http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4690-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4670K - there's not much difference between the i5 4690 and i5 4670k in performance till you overclock the latter. Either will run any graphics card.
