Which one should I go with?

Go to solution Solved by Aniallation,

Honestly, I don't like the i3. It's a locked series, and it isn't even a full quad-core. Also, if I go with the Pentium, you're saying I'll have a drastic performance decrease when it comes to having multiple programs open while gaming? Will the FX 6300 do the same?

The Pentium already struggles to play AAA titles on their own, never mind with multiple programs open while gaming. The FX will definitely be better for those uses.

 

Where it currently stands for AAA gaming the FX-6300 has a slight edge on the i3, and the lead will grow larger with DX12. However with Intel you can upgrade to as high as an i7 later on if you want. That's the deciding factor. Performance now vs upgradeability

Not to mention with that CPU you are limited on the GPU you can get because anything over a 280x or 960 will be bottlenecked a good amount from it and the GPU is mainly where the FPS comes from.
