So I'm building a relatively cheap new computer and I'd like some help deciding between two configurations. Either an i5-4590 and a GTX 750Ti. Or an AMD FX-6300 and an R9 280x. I'd assume having more graphics processing power would be much more important than the CPU power, but I've heard AMD processors are horrifically bad on certain games.

How about an i5 4460 + GTX 950
An excellent combo.

A GTX 950 plus an i5-4460 sounds like a great idea, but what kind of performance could I expect from that? Just on standard games like CS:GO, Minecraft, Rust (The new one) DayZ etc
 


Firstly, it depends on the resolution of your monitor.

On a 1080P monitor you will easily get 200fps and more on CS:GO

Minecraft will be a walk in a park.

Rust and Dayz should also do just fine!
 
That combo sounds like a great idea, will most likely do that or step up a little to an R9 380 instead of a GTX 950. Picked your answer as the solution and thank you 😀
