Trying to decide which combo to buy for a new build:

Option 1:
Intel i3 4160 + R9 290

Option 2:
Intel i5 4460 + R9 280

I am simply deciding on where to allocate ~$60, on the CPU or GPU? What combination would probably give me better results overall? I typically go for single-player campaign games like Dragon Age Inquisition or Assassins Creed Unity.

Thanks for the help!
