Hey guys I have 2 mates who both want to sell me there pc's for the same price..

A..
cpu: fx 8320 @ 4.5ghz h60 corsair
gfx: 2 x r9 280x vapor x tri x


B..
cpu: i5 4690k @ stock h100i
gfx: 1 x r9 280x msi..



Idc about the other specs it just comes down to these 2... So out of pure performance and not price... Which is better?

I'd probably go for option B. Option A obviously has better graphical performance but the better processor is going to help with games like DayZ and Arma.

Option A - the 8320 won't hold you back.

hmmm... Yeah the 8320 does seem nice. But I hear its really old architecture and not many games even support all of its cores. But on the other hand.. it does have a nice crossfire.. such a hard decision

Yeah but games nowadays are GPU intensive than being CPU intensive. And the Fx 8320 won't hold you back. I'd go with Option A.
