Intel i3 and Amd Fx-6300

[IronGoblin]

Im choosing which cpu to get for a new gaming pc,

its a budget of though around 700 dollars (650 euro),

and my question is if intel i3 is better than the amd fx-6300

 

And is it possible to game on an intel i3?

[kuzimins]

i3 is better.

[ZetZet]

for games i3 is pretty much always better.

i3 all the way; IPC on FX6300 is really gonna hurt game performance and no upgrade path on that socket etc...

- Yes IMO in games that dont use more than 4 cores  (threads), but not a whole lot

- Of course it's possible, but some games apparently dont work on dual cores??

But if i get intel know I´ll only be able to upgrade with intel socket 1150

Possible? They're excellent in most games.

 

The FX-6300 can get fairly close if overclocked, and it's certainly cheap enough. But LGA-1150 gives you at least some sort of upgrade path if you choose to do so.

the i3 will do better in two-threaded games, they'll be comparable in four-threaded games, and if you have something that'll use all cores, the AMD will be ahead (rare case)

 

the i3 will allow you to upgrade to i5 or i7 in the future tho.

 

on the games on working on dual cores: not an issue with the i3 as it has 4 threads, this is only an issue with pentiums.

But with AMD there is nothing worth upgrading to. On lga1150, you can get the best cpu for gaming, the 4690k, or even better the 4790k for other work.

Intel Core i3-4150 Boxed

 

would that one do alright?

all of the i3s are really close together, as long as its LGA1150 its good IMO.

sorry but whats LGA you mean socket?

[manikyath]

sorry but whats LGA you mean socket?

the socket is called "LGA1150"

[IronGoblin]

the socket is called "LGA1150"

but the  Intel Core i3-4150 Boxed just has a 1150 Socket? so is it ok or am I missing something?

you're not missing something, tweakers just appears to be missing something.

Go with the i3. I'm stuck with a damn FM2+ socket.
