Yes I do have an old cpu Q9650 clocked @4275GHz I think it can beat i3-6300 especially at multi-threaded games.either card you will still be in low 1080p at"newer games" and judging by your budget you probably have a old cpu. so asking if either of these are any good for AAA games in 2017. answer is no. can you play them? yes....will it look good? no
