I5 4590 vs FX 8350

[popeyetyty]

What should i get i have the two different things listed below.

Option 1:

CPU: I5 4590
GPU: R9 380X
RAM: 8GB DDR3
PSU: EVGA 650W P2 80+
MOBO: MSI H81M-P33

Option 2:

CPU: FX 8350 OC'ed to 4.0-4.3 With a Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: R9 380X
RAM: 16GB
PSU: EVGA 650W P2 80+
MOBO: M5A78L-M/USB3

Those are the two options i have i know the FX is old and most may say the I5 one but i was also leaning on the FX for the extra 8GB of ram, but tell me you're guy's opinion on what one i should get.

get the i5, it's much much faster than the FX8350 even when you OC it
right now 8GB RAM will be enough anyway but it's not like RAM costs a fortune, so upgrading to 16GB if needed shouldn't be the issue

In most things including gaming the 4590 is significantly better

I may be able to get 2x8GB ram sticks in the future but not atm.

You can go with a smaller power supply with the i5. In real-world use it draws half the power of the FX. A 400-550w unit is more than enough for your system.

Awesome. I been leaning on the I5 for a while its just the ram thing can be a issue cause i do want to play Battlefront but i heard 8GB is good for Battlefront to so i will stick with the I5 like you said in post before. And about the PSU i got the PSU already because it was on sale for 80 dollars.

You know what it may be smarter to go with this.

CPU: I3 6100
GPU: R9 380X
RAM: 16GB DDR4
PSU: 650W EVGA P2 80+
MOBO: ASUS H110M-K

Then i can get better CPU's in the Future with the DDR4 ram. Actually Haswell is better than Skylake right?
