Which build would be better for just gaming? I might sell my GTX 770 to pay for a new GPU. For some reason I can't get on pcpartpicker, so I'll just list the parts:
CPU: Pentium G3258 ($69.99)
Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO ($29.99)
GPU: Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X ($299.99 after selling the GTX 770)
CPU: i5-4690 ($219.99)
Cooler: none, stock ($0.00)
GPU: Gigabyte R9 280x WINDFORCE ($179.99 after selling GTX 770)
I will OC the G3258 to it's max OC, which seems to be about 4.5-4.6Ghz.
