You're going to need a little bit better motherboard if you want to overclock.

This is overall better than you build and cheaper.

Consider about it.

fx 8320 overclock will have about same performance. (than fx 8350)

Better MB, (u can go with pro instead of evo if you have extra money).

Better memory

Better gpu (r9 280 vs gtx 760 -_-)

Better power supply

and I choose windows 8 because you can install it on other computer if you made a new build (but one at a time)

I also have this, but i dont know much about radeon graphics.
Why the 8320 instead of 8350? I believe the 6350 is better than the 8320 ( for gaming).
I dont have much more spending room. If I went to the 6350 i could improve the motherboard, but im not sure if its worth it, not sure if ill ever overclock.
Also, thinking about the i5-3570k or 4690k

If you overclock both cpu, then 8320 is similar 8350.

Although 8350 has higher base clock, if you OC both, their overclocked clock will be the same.

It is not worth it.

If you go with i5, it will be more expensive.

If you have enough budge, go with i5 4690k!

Please go with r9 280 !!!!

IT IS 50 DOLLARS LESS EXPENSIVE AND HIGHER PERFORMANCE!!!!

i dont know gpus very well and i went to gpuboss and it looks like r9 might be better but idk what the differences mean.
Geforce had better clockspeed and power usage, but r9 has better memory, more shading units, and better floating points.

Even if gtx 760 has higher clocked, it is not worth 50 dollars...

However, according to this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qim-asQrT_Y

R9 280 will have higher performance in gameing and 3D benchmark.

Also, it is much easier to OC.

What do you meant by last longer?

Every gpu has its lifetime,
However, you will most likely to upgrade to other gpu by the time the lifetime "end".

You save 50 dollars, get better performance card, why not?

Hmmmmmmm... what about physx? It's exclusively nvidia and improve graphics.
Also I'm getting the gpu for my bday.
Also, 8350, 6350, or 8320 (Not sure if im gonna oc or not) actually just 8350 or 6350, is the 8350 worth the money?

If you are not going to oc, why bother buying a after market cpu coolers?

If you are not overclocking, i5 4460 might be better for you overall.

PhysX doesn't make the graphics better and it isn't a reason to buy the card to be honest.

Non-Overclock
i5 4460 with stock cooler.

Overclock
fx 8320 with CM evo 212.

It is up to you to decide.

You should watch this video

If you are not video editing, go with i5 4460 for gaming.
