AMD FX6300 + GTX 760
or
Intel Core i5 4590+ R9 270X

I will overclock the FX6300 with water aftermarket cooler and i5 will use a cheap aftermarket air cooler to make the systen look better.
I cant decide because the GTX 760 is better, but the i5 is better aswell.
P.S i5 will not OC.
Mobo for intel is:Gigabyte GA-H97 Gaming 3 and AMD is Gigabyte Ga-990FXA-UD3 REV 4.
I plan to do SLI
/Crossfire on both types of GPUs.
I have a 650W PSU.
 
Solution
The performance difference between the R9 270X and the 760 is very minimal and recently the 270x will beat the 760 ( surprisingly ).

Maybe go for an i5-4460 + R9 280 for the better of the two worlds.
buy a r9 270 and spend those extra cash to buy a better i5 and the performance of r9 270 and r9 270x is very similar so why spend
those extra dollars for just a little performance gain BTW you can just overclock the r9 270 and get the performance of a 270x
