6300 vs 8320

[shankyftw]

Guys which is the best build for gaming?

FX 6300 + R9 270x

or

FX 8320 + R7 265

The 6300 + R9. Better GPU, and the FX-6300 has a higher clock speed.

The better gpu will make account for the weaker CPU , I'd take the 6300 with the 270x any day of the week over the other combination.

I'd redirect you the opposite route to the above user, I'd get the FX 8320 and R7 265. You can't have a higher clock speed as a factor when comparing two CPU's like that, it doesn't make any difference. The CPU will not need to be upgraded as soon as the graphics card, as graphics cards tend to be outdated before a CPU does, when it comes to the time of upgrading the CPU may bottleneck the newer card making you need to upgrade both. the FX 8320 is a great CPU, and as far as bottlenecking goes, it ha the ability to handle much better cards.

As far as the graphics card goes, put in another $20 and grab yourself a R9 270, worthwhile over the R7 265 and is very close performing to the 270X. It is one of the best value cards out there for the price currently.

Well definitely your point is valid for the longevity , I like your thoughts .
