Pentium G4400 OR AMD FX 6300

[H27_GAMER]

I am building my first gaming PC and confused whether to choose Intel or AMD

Specs for the intel build:
Pentium G4400
Sapphire Nitro RX 460 2GB
8GB DDR4 RAM
MSI H110M PRO-VD MOBO


Specs for the AMD build:
AMD FX 6300
GTX 750Ti
8GB DDR3 RAM
ASUS M5A78L-M LX3 MOBO

There might be a better option than either of these, but I'd take the Pentium if choosing between the two. The RX460 is a much faster video card, and the G4400 has nearly twice the single-threaded performance of the FX. There are a handful of games that simply don't run well on dual cores and the FX system would likely perform better in these, but the opposite is also true. The Pentium offers a far superior upgrade path and has other advantages related to the platform/socket it uses.

You said that therer might be a better option than those two of em but I have a budget of $350 so can you suggest something better?

Does $350 only include motherboard, processor, video card and RAM? Be aware you can use a smaller power supply and have less need of an aftermarket cooler with an Intel system.

My Budget includes the CPU, motherboard , GPU, RAM and a 450w power supply

$390 gets you an Intel system with 4 RAM slots, and a GTX 1060 which is around twice as fast as the RX460:
