Smile at me. I just made it so much better. Choose the 380. It's better overall except on nvidia optimized games. Also what's your budget? I can help you make it even better.
 


Thank you!

My budget is £630 (not sure in dollars) and also would the 6300 not be good?

Themed build! Anyways the fx 6300 architecture is a very old and inefficient. If you count 4 years old old. I count 1998 as old lol.
