A few questions

[kamilstoch]

Hi, I'm building a computer and have a few questions:
1. AMD FX-8320 WITH GTX 770 (or R9 280X) or INTEL i5 4670K with GTX 760
2. If I went with the AMD build, would a 550W PSU be enough? (Will do moderate oclocking)
3. Which build is better in your opinion? If neither, build one yourself(on part picker) for me (£650 budget no OS)

P.S If I went with the FX-8320 and the GTX 770, rather than the i5 4670K combo, would I gain or lose fps?

1. You would be benefited most if you swapped Intel i5 4670K with GTX 770. I know that must be difficult for you if you are tight budget, but its really worth it. Don't go with R9 280X, as i have seen some users experiencing odd problems due to drivers or unknown issues.
2. I would pick Intel over Amd there. And if you are willing to do moderate overclocking you will at least require a psu with 650watts for GTX 770 and make sure psu you pick has atleast 42A rating @+12V rail. For GTX 760, even decent psu with 500watts will be enough for you.
3. Already said in part 1.
Most of the games are dependent on gpu rather than cpu. So in most cases you will be gaining the fps with amd build.

Sorry but unfortunately there is no way I can put in the 770 with the i5. Like I said, £650 is Max without os.

then go for AMD FX-8320 and gtx 770. As better graphics will enrich your gaming performance with decent cpu. Enjoy

Thanks brarboy! 2 more questions:
- Would the FX-8320 be better at video editing than the 4670k
- Would the Corsair 750W 80+PLUS BRONZE be enough for the AMD build?

 

[brarboy]

with those 8 cores of FX-8320 of course you will are going to be benefited with AMD.
For power supply, get 650watts but get something better and make sure it has 42A @+12V rail.

couldn't get much better at that budget, so here is decent one for you with 750watts, will be good enough for you:
