Hi guys,

im gonna build a game pc but i was thinking

should i get the fx 6300 with r9 280x or should i get the i5 4440 with r9 280x

so im thinking between these 2 cquse if i get the first build id probably be able to get myself a new phone aswell but with the i5 one not and would the fps be very differnce + how many years would it last ,

I prefer the i5s over the fx 6300 any day. The i5s have more power per core so they tend to stay useful for longer (i5s from 3 years ago still play modern games with no problems). FPS wise, they would probably be the same or similar for games that are gpu intensive. Games that are more CPU oriented will perform better on the i5 since there are very few games that take advantage of the fx-6300's 6 cores (most use at max 4 cores).

My vote goes to the i5 + r9 280x
