More Processor or More Video Card?

[IdealisticScout]

I am getting a gaming computer for my son. With all other things being equal, should I put more money into the processor or video card? Which is better, an AMD FX8320 with a GTX970 or an i7 4790 with a GTX960?

Go with intel but you do not need i7. i5 will be fine and save some bucks.

The fx + 970 would give you more frames. I would take the i5 4440 with the gtx 970 if possible.

GPU is the most important thing in gaming, go with the gtx 970 and the amd.

Depends on the motherboard as well
