And for a WTF? moment read the comment about how the FX-8350 did "so well" when tested.

I say WTF because above they show weaker CPU's getting the same frame rate, including the FX-4320 which is nearly identical except it has HALF the number of cores (the FX-8350 is supposedly also at 60% load. Uh... the FX-4320 has half the cores, performs about the same so how's that work?)

The MORAL here is that the testing is probably wrong. (and when a weaker CPU performs the same it's because of a GPU bottleneck not because the FX-8350 is "matching" the performance of an i7. Sigh.)

Anyway, in the REAL WORLD the i3-6100 can do a great job though an i5-6600 would do better at...

That's about the best you can do for the budget.

I'm guessing an R9-380 is somewhere near an R9-280X, so use THIS as a rough estimate:

The R9-280X got 45FPS at 1920x1200, Ultra 4xMSAA/HBAO.

(Also an older benchmark so updates would hopefully make it run slightly better)

If screen tearing is annoying you may want to use RadeonPro, force on Dynamic VSYNC then tweak settings (for 60Hz monitor) so you rarely drop below 60FPS.

Anyway, in the REAL WORLD the i3-6100 can do a great job though an i5-6600 would do better at times for heavy maps. You just don't have the BUDGET for that, but it's probably not a big deal.
