  1. The i3 is better for your desired purposes, but the R9 270 performs far better than the 750ti for the same price. See if you can stretch for an i5-4440 with a cheap h81 board, and just use the stock cooler. Also, while the R9 270x is not worth the extra cost over the R9 270, the R9 280 is defniitely worth it. i3-4130 + h81 + stock cooler + R9 270 will work (NOT i3-4150 or any other i3), but an i5-4440 + h81 + stock cooler + R9 280 will do better by a lot.

    But if https://www.asus.com/fi/Motherboards/Z97PRO_GAMER/ that mob and i3 4130 & r9 270. And I would upgrade later when I get money.
  2. Most programs you will be running don't actually need much CPU horsepower. Browsers and MS Office really don't hog CPU resources, but they do hog RAM. Besides, gaming while using MS Office is a really unlikely scenario. Besides, you can get an i5 in your price range. Also, the AMD CPUs, while they do have more cores than their similarly priced intel competitor products (G3258 vs X4 860k for instance), have really poor single threaded performance so that it's not really a whole bunch better. 4 cores right now is the sweet spot for what you really need with gaming and everyday usage. An i5 wins every time for this kind of purpose if you can afford it, which you can.

    My budget is bit of problem because I'm out of amazon and ncix deliver range in Finland and I have to buy the components from finish site www.jimms.fi and prices are very high. And also I don't need to buy OS because I have copy of windows 8.1 64bit.
