What is your budget @jaco1423

500 can be enough but what is your budget? I would not buy that build. Well.. What is the use? Gaming?

Honestly I don't like that XFX card. Get the MSI one. The MSI one has a backplate and the reference cooler works like a pro.

the MSI is more expensive - he's already over budget and the XFX 380 is perfectly fine.

Sorry. I can't really grasp the difference in +/- £10. From NA

10 quid is 20-25$

And it's not worth the extra cash for a backplate - both cards run cool and quiet and are the same chip.

ive included budget in topic

[jaco1423]

8320 has low IPC - much lower IPC - its cores are roughly  half the horse power of intel cores - and games use mostly 4 or less cores - thus the 8320 will have a lot more frame drops. You also can't OC it without a cooler and a suitable board making it even worse since an 8320 NEEDS at least 4 GHz to be a viable option for gaming.

The 4460 doesn't need a cooler or an expensive board.

I like the build quality of MSI, that's all. For the comfort of no gpu sag.

GPU-sag ain't an issue - it doesn't do anything to the card.
