Hey guys!

I'll be getting a new PC soon and here are the specs in my mind,

CPU: FX8320 or i5 4440
GPU: Asus GTX760
RAM: 4GB for now (I'll get another 4GB stick in December)
MoBo: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0(FX8320) or Asus B85M-G(i5 4440)
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper TX3
PSU: Seasonic ECO 600w

Main use of this PC would be for gaming, a bit of video editing and stuff.
I wouldn't be doing any overclocking now(If I go with FX8320), maybe after 2-3 years. I really need the CPU which will live longer.
I'll be keeping Turbo Boost on most of the time.

Thanks! :)

Can you spend a little more and get the i5 4670K with a Z97 board?

Otherwise, I recommend the 8320 since you can overclock it , better for future games that use more cores, will be better for video editing and is slightly cheaper. Also, I wouldn't recommend the LE version of that board. At Least get the M5a97 R2.0,if not the EVO version.

In that case I'd go with the i5, because the mostly gaming and no overclock, also, no need for the cooler. What games do you play?

My budget is Rs.50,000 ($815)
I can't spend a penny more, these two are the only options I've got.

Nope, but it's from there where I built the specs(in Whishlist). The PC costs Rs.48k in Flipkart. I'll be getting this PC from a local shop.

Um, I'd be using Vegas more, you know for editing videos to upload in YouTube.

In that case i5 you should consider buying factory unlocked i5 as overclocking will give your more performance boost in desktop apps.

Not even a single i5 "k" series CPU fits my budget.

For gaming, it is a big No but for your video editing requirements, it will do the job.
