In both cases the r9 380.if you have more money to spend go for the Intel, else just buy the fx CPU. Depends on your budget

>>52125351
from what i read fx doesn't work well with amd GPU's. So i came here to ask u guys

>>52125429
LOL what. Punch the faggot who told you that
>>
Not OP, what do you guys think of buying 2 380x's, is crossfire worth it?
>>
>>52125573
okay mate. thanks for answer ill use my old asrock mobo to save some money
>>
>>52125614
Not at all. Multi gpu issues + it always takes a while until games are crossfire supported. One 390 is the way to go

You're right to degree , the thing is amd drivers have more overhead than jewidia , so they don't cope so good with weaker cpus.
I've observed this with two machines with old e5450(3.6ghz)/x5470(4ghz) cpus my machine had r9 290 and x5470, and my brother has 560ti and e5450.
In Cpu bound games on same settings r9 290 had more stuttering than 560ti , I could of course crank up r9 290 way more and framerate would remain the same but so did the suttering.

Now with 4460 r9 290 is seeing much more consistent performance. (got a mad deal , wouldn't upgrade otherwise)
You can overclock fx quite a bit tho.

OCd 83xx + r9 380

If you want to switch to jewtel save up and wait for a deal on unlocked CPUs.

Skylel i3 can be an option as you can oc "locked" cpus quite a bit, but mobos that can do that ain't on the cheep side
