Hello,

I want t ask if i get problems if i take the 6300 over the 8320. And if there will be any problem then how big will it be?

Regards,

No issues or bottleneck but you would probably be better off with the FX-6300+270X as it offers the best performance for budget.

If not, I'd get FX-8320 + 280X as you have a better balance in terms of CPU power.

also the GTX 770 is often better value for money than the 280X right now.

damn coin miners.

xD here the 770 is more expensife then the 280x. And the 6300 + the 280x will get better performance right (or i'm just crazy )

oh okay, in most western nations 770 and 280x are same price and 770 is a little better.

there's no performance issue but it doesn't make much sense to use a high end card with a weaker processor as your system doesn't have good "balance"

To use an analogy

The 280x with a fx-6300 is like putting a Ferrari engine in a BMW, you won't notice but it's a bit odd
but you can use them together fine.

The thing is that the 8320 is 40 euro more and if i want to get that i can't buy a 120 gb ssd

Get the FX-8320 and then live without an SSD for awhile until you can afford one.

It's more cost effective to replace something that doesn't exist than something you've already paid for.
