I'm not sure what country you're in, but in the US, the 860k is cheaper than the 750k.

Personally I wouldn't choose any of the Athlon X4 chips unless you're restricted by a budget that requires you to do so. Do you already have a motherboard or will you need one of those as well. Is this a new build or an upgrade? System specs if it's an upgrade?

It is my first build ever. So far i had laptops and did a nice job. Now i need something more powerfull, im sick of laptops. I have athilon ii x4 740 - 50 eur, 750k for 60 eur and 860k 74 eur. So are they very different in performance? I plan to play BF4 at 1080p with medium-high settings. Im using that game as a reference or bench. So if i can run it, i think i can run everything i might need to. What do u advise, 740, 750k or 860k?
BTW, im not interested in overclocking, but 200- 400 mhz more oc on a stock cooler might be ok. I like that little edge. 100 mhz more is nice ^^. I guess i have been using laptops for way too long

Of those, the 750K and 860k would be the better choices. The 860k with fast RAM does fairly well when paired with a decent GPU.
