In my opinion, you should go with the 6-core 6350 (or 6300, if you're confident in overclocking). The money you saved on the CPU could then be put towards the newer, more powerful Radeon R9 280X GPU. |
The 280X is no newer than the 280, and he sould NOT get that right now (280X is fairly overpriced). However an FX-6300 + R9 290 wouldn't be a bad idea.
