I think i should just post the whole configuration that was suggested to me:
Mobo ASUS AMD AM3+ AMD97 86,3
AMD FX-8320 173,4
ASUS R9 270 191,8
SSD Transcend 128GB 66,8
Kingston 8GB DD3 68,8
WD 1TB Black AF 88,2
Gigabyte GZ-G3 Plus 66,5
ATX 700W Chieftec (BPS - 700W) 74,7
RW Liteon IHAS 20,4
Cooler SPIRE SP994S1-V1 21,2
_______
858,1
Prices in my country suck and i know i could get more for my money in Germany, the UK or the USA, but importing parts unfortunately isn't an option in this case. Initially i was looking at a budget of approximately 750 and i already upped it by over 100, so i would like to avoid spending even more. The I54670K would cost about 250, in which case i would have to drop the SSD and put that money into the I5. Would you guys recommend that, considering the other parts in this configuration, or do you have any alternative suggestions? What do you think about the other components in the configuration i posted?
I also just remembered, while it's meant to be primarily a gaming PC, my nephew might show some interest in streaming games and i've read that the FX-8320 might be better at handling that, is that so? I've spent a day browsing for comparisons between the two processors and wound up with a lot of threads on various sites and the majority favoured the I5 4670K for gaming, while some general benchmarks show them fairly close (i've used passmark benchmarks, but i got the impression that the site is frowned upon here, so i'm not sure how accurate it is). Is the difference between the two in regard to games big enough to justify spending another 60? From what i gather, the I5 has fewer cores which on the other hand are faster, and most games today don't seem to use that many cores, so it appears to make more sense for gaming to me as a newbie regarding this stuff. Is it possible that games in the next few years will start using more cores, and would that give the FX-8320 an edge compared to the I5 4670K?
