Please pick one !

This system is intended for ultra gaming

I'm at my budget and I can chose from

Fx 8320 and r9 280 (non X)

Fx 6300 and r9 280x

Fx 6300 and gtx 770

Or any other suggestions within the UK price point ?

Fx 6300 and r9 280x. Personally "Ultra Gaming" doesn't exactly fit with AMD CPU's.

If you can spare the extra 50 bucks, I'd go for an intel i5 paired with the same GPUs. If you have to stick with your choices then I'd take the FX 6300 paired with the r9 280x.

For reference:

FX 6300 + Hyper 212 EVO + R9 270x or R9 280 + Mild OC to 4.4-4.5 GHz = BF4 on High with some settings on Ultra.

Get a quality 970 motherboard for a single GPU, 990FX motherboard if you plan to Crossfire/SLI. I recommend a single GPU setup. Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P is a good pick that won't break the bank.

My budget is £550 potentially willing to stretch by to just under 600 reason being the rest goes to peripherals. So £580 maximum.
