SOS info for custom built PC

[ConstantineMH]

Hello to everyone that might have stumbled across this thread! Me and my best friend are trying to built up custom gamer PCs and we`re having difficulty in picking out the best parts we can afford!
I`ve been trying my best to research reviews, critics and comparisons between the pieces we`re considering to purchase but I`m having a terrible time figuring out what`s the best components!


>>>[CPU] We`re standing in between ||AMD FX 8350(AM3+,4,0 GHz,16 Mb) @ 181euros|| or any other model in the same price, or lower that the majority will recommend due to better performance.


>>>[Graphics card] As of that, we`re standing between ||Sapphire R9 270X 4GD5 DX Boost OC|| & ||Sapphire VGA PCI X R9 280 3GB GD5 Boost|| (MUST NOT BE CONFUSED WITH 280x). We are having a great difficulty figuring out which one of the two is the best for gaming, talking about demanding games such as DayZ Standalone, BF4, etc-etc-etc. We like to play on full display settings so we`re seeking the best of these two. If there is another suggestion around the price of 240euros, we`re open to consider and take in mind the suggestions!


This is all for now, thanks for your time and the wisdom you`re sharing with me! Have a lovely time.

The 4690k is going for 179 euros and will beat the 8350.

The 4Gb 270x IMHO is a waste. Any game(watchdogs is about it) that will come close to using that much vram will be limited by the GPU. you would need 2 in xfire to make use of that much vram and for what that would cost you'd be better off with a 290 or 290x. So between the 2 the 280 would be the better choice, it has 3gb of vram amd a gpu powerful enough to utilize it.
