What can this run?

[ArmoreDragon]

Can this run most games at high settings and around 60 fps?

Yep, high shouldn't be a problem

 

[ArmoreDragon]

1080p? And games like far cry 4 and dying light?

Replace CPU with any i5 for 1150 or 1151 socket. Replace motherboard with h97, z97, h170, z170 chipset. Replace GPU with r9 380/x. The new rig will outperform current one in almost every game.

Crock. Exactly nothing wrong with Amd on a budget build. OP isn't trying for 4k with SLI 980ti.,just standard 1080p 60Hz, which an 8320 and 960 can do hi settings easily, ultra in some.

Sure an intel system will be better, but at about $1000 vrs $500, Op can live with Amd.

I have no idea how you compare $500 vs $1000. Here is a much better build for a little more money:

Now add an SSD, and dump that psu, that kind of cash would be better spent on an Evga 650w G2.

Not a big fan of Alpine coolers, the $35 Cryorig H7, or Raijintek Ereboss, Themis, Aidos would be much better choices.
Not a fan of XFX gpus either, their psus are awesome, but gpus leave something to be desired. Tend to be noisy, bad coil whine, and temperamental at best. With Amd cards, its best to stick with Sapphire, Asus, Msi.

You've basically thrown together a build of the cheapest parts possible, except for the psu which is ridiculously overpriced for a Bronze unit. Just to quantify a price.
As I said, a decent Intel system will run about $1000.

Add another $150 for an i7 4790k and there's no game or other program that the pc can't run at high-ultra 1080p

I do agree, that a "decent" build would be at least 1 k.usd, and it does not matter AMD or Intel. The problem is that AM3 socket is dead for several years, there is no even possibility to upgrade. The r9 380 is a bit faster than gtx 960, and r9 380x is slightly faster than non x version.

Why not to get the best possible parts for that price range?

 

[Karadjgne]

There is only one socket that's currently NOT dead and thats lga1151. Even lga1150 is a dead socket, same as am3+, so that 'it's a dead socket' argument doesn't hold any water whatsoever. My Lga1155 pc's are well dead too but I'll be damned if a 3570k and a 3770k can't hold their own against anything newer. Fact is, most ppl do not upgrade just a cpu, they'll either upgrade the gpu/psu or start a new build entirely. And to top that, Lga1155 boards / cpus are no longer mainstream production, whereas AM3+ still is. With an Fx 8320, there honestly IS no upgrade, the 8350,8370,9370,9590 are the same cpu. Would be no different than pairing a 6700k on an lga1151 board, there is no upgrade, so even an open socket vrs dead socket doesn't mean jack s.. t.

An OC 8320 with a r9 390 will perform in real no different to a i7 4790k with a r9 390 at 1080p 60Hz. The framerates will be so far over 60 with either cpu that only benchmarks will have any bearing, which is to say exactly none. To a 60Hz monitor, it makes exactly no difference if the 8320 only manages 120fps to a 4790k's 200fps. Both get capped at 60fps.

Either way, Op needs to drop the psu for a less expensive, but definitely better psu and apply the money towards either a better case or a 120/128Gb SSD if performance in and out of games is wanted.

Whatever you say, I just like to get more value for same money.

i5-4460 beats fx-8320 and still leaves a room for upgrade to i7-4790(k).

I am not an Intel fan, and I do agree that oc fx-8320 would beat i5-4460 in multithread tasks,
but the fact is that overall i5 is better.

r9 380x beats gtx 960

Totally agree about PSU and SSD.
