Hey I am a bit confused what to buy.
I am thinking of Either i5 4670+R9 270x
or Fx6300+R9280x.
I don't know what will prove better in future.as Fx series is a bit old.
What do you guys think What will be better?And help will be appreciated.Thanks in advance.

What about the wattage requirement of Fx8320+280 I have a 600w corsair psu..Will that be enough?And Intel is better at gaming right?does the Intel build can handle games at 1366x766 ar 60 fps for 3-4 years?Thanks for the help..

I can speak confidently because I personally have a corsair cx600 powering an overclocked fx 8320 and an overclocked r9 280X(which needs more power than the 280) so yeah I would say it is fine as long as it is a good brand like you said a corsair psu

In terms of intel vs amd as long as your cpu is powerful enough to run the gpu then there is no difference between which cpu you pick, so go for the best budget, I would suggest the amd build because the gpu will keep you going for longer than the 270X, unless you do such things like video editing and then intel starts to shine with processing power, but seriously if you're on a budget the AMD is the way to go for gaming
