How many faster is really the Nvidia GTX 760 over the Radeon R9 270? To me they sound about equal, but then I'm also a huge AMD fan.


GTX 760 is a tier above R9 270.

270 = Radeon 7870 while GTX 760 = GTX 670 = Radeon 7950

Intel i3 however is several tiers above AMD A6 on the CPU side. They would be smarter to change the CPU to the Athlon X4 750k as its a quadcore and doesn't have a GPU built in which you won't need anyways since youre getting a R9 270 graphics card.

They are same price to boot.

Well depends on how you define a "tier". AMD has no card between the Radeon 7870 and 7950 in performance. In fact I think they're within 15% of each other.

15% better performance out of a $200 price increase is not good system design in my world.


True but that CPU alone is going to bottleneck the R9 270 like crazy.

A6 is a dual core. AMD dual core ~= Intel single core
