r9 380 is best around that budget


you will need a good 550w or better power supply

380x > 380 > 960


EASILY 380x is the best choice if you are willing to go that price level

I would agree to this suggestion, 380X will be better value since it is not far from the prices of R9 380 or gtx 960

but benchmarks are saying the geforce is better

O yh, due to Nvidia's monopolizing method many games run well for nvidia because of their drivers. It does make AMD gpus get slight stumbles when running.

at this tstage it looks like im going for the 380x, why do you suggest this graphics card ?a benchmark websiyte sayds the 960 is the winner when they done tests

thanks

so which is better? 380x or 960?

I like my AMD card but I cant lie, nvidia's "special" drivers give them an upper hand, however this is the 380X we're talking about so I think it can level with 960's performance or go above it in some games. Whereas the 380 would likely be at 960's level or slightly less, thanks to nvidia's "special" drivers.

nope, the 380x is far and away the best performer

Yep 380X for sure, but not all games will favor 380X because of Nvidia's "special" drivers. Their drivers enough help AMD GPUs loose some performance.

You can go for 380X regardless but im just putting it out there.

btw i am picking the 6700k and GIGABYTE UD5 TH, for video editing and ocasional gaming...is it good? or should i increase budget and switch to the 5820k + A MOTHERBOARD SIMILAR TO THE UD5H (DONT WANT TO COMPROMISE ON MOTHERBOARD) ?

 

[AreFlame]

The R9 380x is the better choice, it outperforms the gtx 960 in most games, although there is nvidia optimized games out there so i wont say the gtx 960 goes under the r9 380x in all scenarios.
Anyhow, 4gb vram is recommended for todays games, and the gtx 960 4gb isnt usable with the low memory bit of 186bit i belive. The r9 380x however can handle it with its 256bit.

I am sure that 6700K will be great for the job, and maybe in the near future you can OC it if you want.

I currently run the 5820K for gaming and streaming and then also editing the recorded material. Having gone from a 3770K to this is can report the difference being MARKED...

Now of course we are talking about a newer processor aswell, however single core performance isn't really much greater on the 5820K (stock it is even clocked lower maybe?).

However the extra cores, bigger cache and essentially 11 threads are just HUGE when editing/rendering. If you can stretch to that and it is your main use for the PC, I can ONLY recommend it. The x99 platform and 2011-3 socket are really great and intel has stuck to them for a while and maturing it to waht will culminate in the Broadwell-E later this year.

To add my two cents to the GPU debate...I think though the 960 is a good choice for the casual 1080p gamer, a 380x will really provide extra oomph and certainly outperform anything Nvidia in that price range (Nvidia "loyalist" speaking)

 

[AreFlame]

Single-core performance on the 6700k is better than the 5820k but in multithreaded work the 5820k will beat the 6700k, for example video editing and such. But do note the x99 motherboards are pricey.

yes thats why i dont want to compromise on motherboard just for cpu.. i think the 6700k is the best choice, because i like the motherboard range + prices for socket 1151

 

[AreFlame]

Yep, seems like the better choice. Thats what i did too, although i chose the 6600k since i didnt care about hyperthreading.
