buying a new desktop
Hello, i am going to buy a new computer very soon, but I can't decide which one to buy.

The first one has a amd fx-8320 and asus Radeon r9-280 3gb oc.

The other one has a Intel I5-4460 and a gtx 760 1,5gb.

Which one is best for gaming, I can overclock fx-8320 if I need to. Please help me.

Yes, you will, but not at the level the i5 can give you at stock.

Thanks for the help Bruno but if I overclock the amd fx-8320 will it even up the things?

Yes, it could. But really depend on the games.

Some games like Crysis 3, demand more GPU horsepower than CPU. Other games like i think Civ5 demand more CPU horsepower than GPU. And others require both. But the GPU games are more vast.

I recommend taking the I5-4460 + GTX 760 (or equivalent). With that you ensure the CPU horsepower.

the 8320 + R9 is a stronger gaming machine. The fact the cpu is somewhat slower than the i5 is more than made up by the huge horsepower difference of the 980 vs the 760


Thanks for the help, just one more thing, will the amd CPU bottleneck me in the newer games?
