True let his budget decide it for now but so far he has chose neither and is planning out on another cpu in the future...So far he decided to get a gtx 960
 
Wait what do you mean by cooler? Aftermarket or just a stock?

Good choice for future upgrade...if you are planning to OC?  If not then that K is kind of pointless and you might as well buy an intel i5 cpu that performs similar to that cpu you listed
 
But since you are still deciding, we will wait until you come up with a true decision

In Op's situation I don't think so...He is better of going with a cheap but good for gaming cpu that will save him alot of money due to him being on budget but at the same time the i5 4460 is definitely worth the premium to pay for.....Especially any lga 1150 mobo out there giving you many upgrade options for future gaming but not that it makes the amd cpus bad at all (just wanting to point out something)

If you have to give up on gtx 780 because of i5 4460 then I'll strongly recommend to get fx6300 because gpu is the most important component for gaming and i5 cannot cover up for a 780.

Totally agree but giving personal proof helps back up their point a little more and possibly explain to the OP which is better for the particular task at hand. Another thing that comes into play is the cost of the motherboard and the particular motherboard you might choose

There is already enough proof to show that getting an i5 4460 is hands down better than the fx 6300, however the fx 6300 doesn't perform like the worst cpus out there and is still fairly fine to game on

If your willing to state such a strong assurance make sure to back it up with evidence and lots of it.

Nailed it Pointed out some stuff I did not really think of either

with OP saying that he is on budget, I think the fx 6300 will be good, not perform good as the i5 4460, but again I think if he is largely on budget he will have to go with the fx 6300 as it would still perform good for gaming
 
For the motherboard, if OP is not Oc'ing then the motherboard option for both the fx 6300 and i5 4460 should not cost much...But since he is on budget going with an intel 180 dollar cpu with a 40 dollar + motherboard is more costlier than an amd cpu that costs 110 dollars + 40$ or more motherboard. 
 
While the i5 4460 does perform better, OP should still choose fx 6300 since he is on budget

Just no, get the 4460, or better yet the i5-6500.

just do the pirate upgrade to 10 then, 10 is awesome!!! but still dont pirate windwos, steal someones harddrive with windows on insted :3 that way someone atleast payed for it

will do, in about 8 hours... 

Your GPU is fine, the numbers given by DxDiag are not a reason for concern. If your GPU isn't causing you other issues it is just fine.

Shared memory works both ways AFAIK, RAM can be used for graphics, and some applications can use Vram for non graphical things.
I think that some of your GPU's Vram is simply reserved for something, that might make DxDiag not include it. I had the same with my R9 280, it showed up as 2,5GB in either a game or DxDiag, I can't remember.
 
If you wan't to be sure then download a Vram tester to see if your GPU is alright. (though I am 100% sure it is)

There's your answer then. You have 3072 of dedicated memory and 3811 of shared memory Hope that helped.

Yup, just rollback the driver. 

This, at least until a fix is out.

lol i had alienware with amd gpu and i had to refund it because of gpu and driver issue 

i5 is better than the FX so its good it went out of stock but use Pcpartpicker.com and put your build on that. it looks good to me 

each 7970 has a power consumption of 100w at load, Huston we have liftoff. Keep it plugged in and happy hunting.

Okay, I think I speak gibberish. Allow me to translate: My Alienware is malfunctioning. Every time I boot up, the screen flickers, and then AMD CrossFire disables itself, so I restart my computer, and then nothing works. The programs Alienware Autopsy, AMD Catalyst Control Center, Skype, and Steam all don't work, which I find strange since the last time I ran Autopsy, the system passed, but it's obviously not working correctly. I'm at a loss because I've already reinstalled my drivers many times.

Then I'm not really sure. Sorry

how do i turn it off im afriad that ill run gta v on 15 fps btw im still downloading gta v havent tried it yet

Well, if I were you I'd just continue saving. That i3 won't get you very far. The i5 4460 is a much better CPU for not much more, though I'd save for the i5 4690k.
 
My opinion though.
