I'm looking at building a budget to mid-range gaming computer, which will be used for some core intensive tasks (video edits, etc) and general all-purpose. Should I go for the intel i5 4690k and an EVGA gtx 750Ti FTW with ACX ( 1189Mhz to 1268Mhz boost), or the AMD fx-6300 cpu and spend more money on a better GPU, for the same total cost (Note that motherboard is £109 for ASRock z97 Extreme4 for i5. Is this too much to pay?)
