Which is better?

AMD Athlon X4 860K with a GTX 950

 

or

 

Intel Core i3-4170/6100 with a GTX 750Ti

 

 

Not looking to upgrade in the future. Only game I play is CS:GO. Which of the two pairs would offer better day-to-day performance and better framerates in CS:GO (1024x768, medium to high settings)?

Philippines. PHP 20,000 so that would be like 400 USD, only if the prices here weren't so grossly over-inflated. So 300-350 USD.

Well depending on how much higher the 380 is compared to the 950 you'd be best off saving up for the 860K + 380, otherwise I suppose you could just get the 950 and be fine for 1080p.

At a resolution of 1024x768, the Athlon 860k + GTX 950 should offer 60 FPS or slightly more at high settings. I am not familiar with i3 CPUs, so I shall not venture out of my cave in that aspect. The GTX 950 is way better than the 750ti though for sure.

You could go for something with a better igpu and better processor like an i5 and be fine at that res in cs go.. Andd a gpu later if you want to play something else or get a better res monitor.

If you're going to play at that resolution you're best off buy like an A8 7600 + high speed RAM, and upgrading your display to a 1080p display, because that'll just be infinitly better for daily use.
