They're about equal.
Sorry noone responded to your original post. Perhaps we don't have many builders here that are experts on low-budget builds.

As Itsredd said, they're about equal.

Had to remove the . Since too few posts
Build is for photoshop/illustrator, and games like Starcraft 2, Skyrim maybe etc, doesn't need to be ultra on em!
Thanks for the responses so far

Okay this comes a little over budget but it has a better CPU and a better GPU. The combo of both CPU and Mobo is around the same so you can stick with this choice and it will perform better than the Phenom X4, but the RAM is £7 more expensive and the GPU is around £38 more expensive so this is where the increase in cost is overall.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£105.98 @ Amazon UK)
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (£64.99 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Patriot Intel Extreme Master, Limited Ed 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£41.45 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£41.16 @ Dabs)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB Video Card (£125.98 @ Dabs)
Case: BitFenix Merc Alpha (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case (£32.90 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £412.46
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

The RAM is actually £39.99 atm and I think it's worth the price, provided that the reseller has a good reputation.

I like the look of that build, also around £400 which is nice!
Thanks, il have a tweak and see what i think, i went AMD due to i3/i5 bumping the prices too high
