Hello everyone. I have to choose between FX 8320 vs. i5 4690k for a PC that will used mainly for working: Photoshop/Illustrator/40+ Chrome tabs and some gaming a few times a week, GTA V, NFS Underground 3 and some other racing I guess. ( I will be using either R9 280x or R9 380)
As I don't mind the advantage in 5-10 fps for the games that intel gives, my issue stops at the "multitasking" point.
Will FX 8320 be enough for daily use of Photoshop/Illustrator/40+ Chrome tabs (sometimes even two or three windows of 40+ tabs) simultaneously ? Or should I consider overclocking it ? Or should I consider getting an 4690k ?
Also I would be grateful if someone could recommend me a motherboard, for either cpu, that is stable/good, isn't pricy and allows overclocking (just in case).
**In my part of EU, the difference between the CPUs is about 60-80$, so if the cheaper choice does the job, it would be great. Also I've read somewhere that the 8 core FX, may be a better choice for the future, as the 8 cores will come very handy in a few years. Is this true? I will keep this build for about 5-6 years.
