Which is the better overall combo long term along side a MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) motherboard and 4gb of ram ?

Thank you

Get a r7 260x as 4gb won't go far. you'll expect issues with 4gb in modern games.

Wow, so you're saying get a slower video card and more ram?

I would just go for the fx 6300 and the r9 270X.There is a (often) cheaper r9 270 which can easily be made to run at r9 270X speeds,

Looked at the site for your motherboard and that motherboard doesn't support the fx 8320,so the choice isn't there.It probably only supports cpu's with a tdp up to 95watts.

Hey there buddy, I personally have a 270x, plays most games at good settings, when gaming, the most major factor to FPS is the GPU more than the CPU side, However, you will want a half decent CPU, i would say the 6300 (great budget gaming CPU) + 270x (not much difference to the 270 but meh) If you cna pick up a 270 non X for £30 -£40 les you might as well and then see about overclocking in the future if need be as initally there is little to no difference. So in conclusion, FX-6300 + R9 270 and then put spare towards another 4Gb of RAM in future Hope this helped!
