Hello,

I'm going to upgrade my PC.
First I choose the AMD FX 4300.But, everyone saying don't go for AMD. For gaming & performance, Intel is best.
I selected 2 configuration that affordable to my budget. So, please don't suggest any another Processor & MB models.

AMD FX 4300
ASRock 970 Extreme4
Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 1866MHz DDR3

OR

Intel Pentium G3220
Asrock Z87 Pro4
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600mHz 4GB RAM
In the processor spec, memory is 1333. This 1600mHz will support?

I already have:-

Samsung Syncmaster 933SN Plus DVI monitor
ASUS Raedon HD5450 DDR3 1GB
1x500GB WD HDD
1x3TB Seagate HDD
1xLG Sata DVD-RW
Zebronics 450W PSU

Now I'm using AMD Athlon X-II vs ASUS M2N68-AM Plus MB & I didn't face any problems yet. Sometimes it is laggy but I can play COD Modern Warfare 3, Crysis 3, Hitman Absolution on medium settings. But I can't play BF 2-3 & 4, COD Ghost etc.

In above 2, which one will play BF 3 & 4, COD Ghost etc with my current GPU.

Thank You

as long as you are using that gpu then don't expect to play those games you've mentioned. you are better off upgrading your gpu first to at least a gtx 650ti/r7 250x. GPU is always more important than the CPU gaming wise.

Both of them will work with your gpu, but you'll not see a lot of improvement, a hd 5450 is not (and never was) meant for gaming.

assuming that you are stuck between those 2 choices strictly and that you won't be swapping the pentium for an i3 or the fx4300 for an fx6300 then the fx4300 gets my recommendation because the two extra cores of the fx will come in handy as more and more games are beginning to scale on 4 or more cores.

Yes, I'm stuck between those 2 because of my low budget.:'( 
But, I choose the expensive MOBO compared to processor because, after 2-3 years when I got money, I can only need to upgrade Processor. Right?

You only need a good mobo if you plan to overclock, you can even get a h81 mobo and a i3 at the same price. Overclocking does not goes well with budget builds.

I'm going with the AMD.

For MOBO, which one should be better for future OC with 8350?

1. A990FXM-A Deluxe (V1.0)

2. ASRock 970 Extreme4

3. ASRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0

3. GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P

And not going to use CrossFireX and NVIDIA SLI. But I only buy any these MOBO because of budget.

I didn't hear anything about ECS.

So, please suggest me a best one. If I buy any best one from this, In future only need change my CPU.
