4670K vs 8320

[CookiezFort]

I want to make a fairly good gaming pc. Would getting a 8320 (cheaper) cause me a lot of bad problems in new games (paired with a r9 270 (non x cost saving) or is just pointless to save 50+ pounds?

If you are on a budget get the 8320. It will perform perfectly fine in games, no issues. Just make sure you put a proper cooler on it, because the stock one sucks.

Overall performance is better, plain and simple. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-vs-AMD-FX-8320

 

Budget or not, the 50 pounds is worth it for the longevity.

You should go with 8320 or 8350 if it isn't too expensive. Get a 270X, it will serve you better.

if you're buying a 4670k with an r9 270 i think you're having some other problems. i am running the msi r9 270 with a €100 AMD 6300..

So if you pair the 270 with a 4670k i think it's gonna be one big-ass bottleneck. Correct me if i'm wrong though.

depending on the budget i'd either go with a more powerful gpu or a cheaper cpu

perfomance for the money the FX 8320 is better, single core perfomance i dont expect many games to need a single core (new gen that I play)

get the cheaper cpu to start (the FX8320) and the best graphics card you can get. then make sure your case has ok air flow.
Then later on you can get an good cpu cooler and overclock it to give you a boost in new/upcoming games.

looks good but i would let go the SSD and get a cheaper case if you are on budget to get more money for a better GPU, the r9 270 will most likely disapoint in some (most) modern games as it can't run high or ultra settings at 1080p, an r9 280 or 280x would be much better. consider and SSD as an upgrade for later maybe? thats what i would do in your situation. Cpu choice is good can't argue that for the price/performance the 8320 is undefeatable.
