Hey guys, I want to upgrade my pc so that it's capable playing all the current games and those coming out in the next 1-2 years on 1280x1024 (possibly 1280x720) with decent fps (my understanding of decent lies at 40+ fps) and with medium settings or above.
So far I've narrowed it down to these possible builds:
- FX-6300 paired with either the gigabyte GTX 750 oc (not ti) or the R7 360 or R7 260x
- Athlon 860k paired with either a gigabyte oc GTX 750 ti or the sapphire R7 270 oc version
My main concern is would the 860k be powerful enough for these cards. Also please help me choose between the AMD and Nvidia cards, I think I'm leaning towards the AMD cards in both builds, they seem to show a bit higher performance despite the higher power consumption.
