Strange choices but not bad at all. As long as you're happy with the way it performs it doesnt really matter, now does it?

either that or an i5 with a r9 270x, think about that for a second, what would you get.

i5 and 270x for sure, games are beginning to become more cpu intensive. And if this is a budget build, go AMD for cpu as well

No they are not, not even close, look at the history of games, back in 2007-2010 hell yeah cpus made a massive difference but an i3+290 will completely shit on a i5 or i7+ 270x, if its a modern game and it has decent optimizing and furthermore the rage at the moment is mantle, what would of happened a year from now, many more games will have mantle, nvidia are likely to come up with a solution like mantle and maybe directx could be more gpu dependant, for example there is one cpu intensive map on bf4, that is siege of shanghai, in which i get lower frames compared to other maps, when mantle came my fps tripled whereas it merely increased by around 30-40% which is still a lot but there is a massive contrast. but still if its low end then you are correct amd cpu ftw, not an apu however those still suck.

You better be thanking mantle dude.   Without it you would have 1 serious bottleneck, I would advise getting at least an i5 when possible.

I don't get it, the only game that lags a little is the witchern2 (30fps) and thats with all the settings maxed out. I haven't encountered it in any other game and non of them support mantle.

Okay, well as long as your happy :)  But I would still get an i5 because that should improve your fps a bit.
