Do it properly man, copy the template in the main post and mention answers along with question.

And I request everyone not to post something until OP does this, this is getting common day by day.

so fx8350 is bettr than i5 and less than i7??

In some cases YES, and no in others. For gaming & other programs you are going to run, it will give you nice performance. Its best vfm processor available now.

In most games, fx 8350 lags by a few fps than i5, but considering the cost of ownership on fx 8350, no Intel processor cna match it's VFM. In many tasks such as rendering, compression etc, the fx 8350 compares to the i7 3770k which costs 2x the price of FX 8350. And considering the trend in gaming engines, more and more games have started scaling on 4 or more cores.

For your applications
using it for gaming(at medium setting.) and for photoshop and premiere pro and aftereffects
an i5 would be perfect. Gaming is best done on Intel. and during PS/Aftereffects, if a difference of a few miliseconds is not a factor for you, then go for i5. take a K-series if you wanna OC.

Put the template in the first post. :|

^If he buys a K series I5 Processor he has to buy a Z77 Chipset Mobo which would Cost more 7.5K atleast inc the processor . So FX 8350 is the best option here...

Request all members to please consider the whole platform cost when suggesting within a limited budget.

@op go with Sainatarajan's config. only change is get a 7870. Buy two sticks of 4GB(buy one now then add another one later). You can buy Corsair value RAM's also.
