im not over-clocking and was wondering if theres any way i can keep the performance the same but lower the budget a little which currently is around £630

also i was thinking of getting two more fans, would these be ok

thanks for the reply but i think i'll stay with what I've got so far though as it doesn't feel as though im getting as much bang for my buck if you know what i mean.
again thanks anyway though.

The i5 4440 is superior to an FX 8350, and the 270x was shown to be faster than a GTX 760 in the recent THG, R9 285 review. 😉

i was gonna get the r9 270x anyway but opted for the 760 because i heard it was much better i still prefer the 8350 to the i5 4440 though 😉 .
and can you find me proof the 270x is better than the 760, im not trying to prove anything because you probably know way more than me, its just i cant find a comparison anywhere and it would probably save me alot if i went with the 270x
thanks.

Why would you prefer an inferior cpu? I own an FX 8320, at FX 8350 speeds. It is inferior to even my i5 2400 @ 3.5ghz. Hell, some games even an i3 4xxx matches, or beats an FX 8350. FX was competitive with Sandy, with a bit of overclocking, but really has lost that competitiveness with Haswell.

i've done some looking around and almost everyone agrees with you so im probably in the wrong, also i can get that processor for the same price as the 8350, but i was wondering is an intel Core i5-4570 better than the i5 4440 because i can get it for a very little price difference and so may aswell if it is better.

isn't the gtx 760 slightly better than the r9 270x :O i am confused with this chart.

 

[logainofhades]

The gtx 760 was 3% slower. Higher number is better. The 270x was the baseline card. Anything below is slower, anything above is faster.
