Intel I5 4460 vs AMD 6300

[superbomb]

I will be mostly watching videos and playing games. I am not sure witch one to go for because if I go with the AMD then I will be able to get a better GPU, but if I go with I5 I will have a better performance. So I wanted to ask you guys.

I would save up some more and go for the better GPU and an i5 CPU

What gpu will be getting, the i5 wins hands down vs the 6300, but the fx 6300 is not bad for its price. An i3 can be a remedy as it offers an upgrade path, while the fx 6300 has no real upgrade path.

Get an i5 4460, you will be able to support any graphics card with no bottlenecking versus the FX 6300. The FX 6300 is an older card, entry level, mean't for a budget. So if you can, get the i5. Better, faster processing than the FX 6300. Link to illustrate the performance difference between the two CPUs: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-4460-vs-AMD-FX-6300/2310vs1555

My GPU will be a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2GB if I will be getting a amd..

My GPU will be a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB if I will be getting a amd..

Ok, since your in 960 price range for gpu, i would buy an i3, upgrade to an i7/xeon later. Whats your full build, to see if we can stretch the gpu budget.

Also, what resolution and games do you plan on playing.

If you are on a budget, consider getting an i3, which will allow for a bit of upgrades later on in the future.

All quality components, offers an upgrade path up to i7. Z97 is not worth it unless you want to sli or OC in the future. R9 280 is faster than a 960, but uses much more power.

I am not building my own.I am ordering from cyberpower.

I suggest building your own as it is much much cheaper. Building is not hard at all.
