Greetings all!

I need a new computer for gaming (max settings with BF4, new games), but I can't decide if I go with Intel or save some money with AMD. So can you guys help me with a config, please?

What I've on my mind right now:

• CPU: FX8350 or i5 4570
• Graphic Card: R9 270X or R9 280 or GTX 760
• Motherboard, Power Supply, Coolers, Storages (SSD+HD), Memory (8GB): Need help here too.
• Need Monitor: no.

• Budget Range: 600 ~ 800 U$

The more I can save (U$), the better (best cost x benefit).
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks.

I think this provides pretty decent bang for bucks at a low budget , you get the ssd too. And if you want , you can add i5 4670k + Z97 mobo or R9 280.

I bought everything here in Japan (online store) for a total amount of U$ 946,00 (it was going to be around U$ 840 but I decided to buy only from one store).

Thanks again.
