Hi, I need the help of the community ( like everybody that post :ange: ) the last time I could assemble a PC was ten or twelve years ago but now I have the money, the time and a GF less, so I can go back to the good old days XD

I made the decision of the next config:

->Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G HDMI USB 3.0 uATX AMD
->RAM: Kingstong HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB)
->processor: AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core

but what I don't know is wich GPU use... these are my options:

->MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX
->ASUS DirectCU II R9280-DC2T-3GD5 Radeon R9 280 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
->SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 100365L Radeon R9 270 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
->GIGABYTE GV-R927XOC-4GD Radeon R9 270X 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
->GIGABYTE GV-R927XOC-2GD Radeon R9 270X 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
->MSI R9 270 GAMING 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 HDCP
->GIGABYTE GV-R928XOC-3GD REV2 Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
-> Sapphire R9 270X (11217-00-20G) AMD Radeon R9 2048mb GDDR5 256-Bit PCI Express 3.0 x 16

what make me nuts is that they are almost the same...

I will be using this PC to Games and CAD design like solidworks or NX

Please help :-/

.:Edit:.
I'm choosing between these cards beacuse they are available in my local shop and are in my budget to the GPU ( 6mil pesos, like 447 dollars) If I can down the cost of the GPU I can use it to the accessories or a better PSU
 
Solution
I wouldn't get a 760G motherboard and an FX CPU. 970 boards are a better idea. GTX760 or the AMD 280 are good cards if you can afford them. If you are trying to game on a sub $500 build you will have all kinds of problems.

Hi junkeymonkey and Dunlop0078; I edit me original comment... I have a budget like 447 dollar to the GPU but GTX 970 isnt available in my local store, Dunlop I dont know why but I think you are a intel fan :p

by the way here in mexico the components are like x1.5 or x2 times the cost in the states :-/

I own an amd rig right now and im telling you to get intel lol those fx processors are out dated by todays standards and do not compare to most intel processors an i3 haswell duel core is better in games than the 6300 look it up and there about the same price at least here in the states.

amd is dead as far as I see with there fx line I always built amd and this time around I could not see it why buy the past today??

all they offer is the same things I had 4 years ago nothing new so I went to intel and now wonder if I should of did it earlier [opinion]

now I say this being I done been there and done that with amd so I could not see spending my money on teck I just came off of and intel atleast gives a more up to the date platform

here in mexico Intel are overValuated If a try to build it with intel oriented my budget will be ripped off... intel isn't a option if I can do with AMD the same with less that the half of money that I will be using with intel, also I'm limited to the available of the products her in mexico... i will buy the GPU R9 280X of gigabyte of 3GB (4GB/MSI if I can find one); My general budget is of 20 thousand Pesos almost 1 488 Dollars... let say that 1480 Dollars in USA worth only 740 (986 if a have luck) so... thank for the help
