AMD CPU Gaming Comparison

[chocolate_overdose]

I'm gonna build my first gaming PC. I'm on a CPU budget of $100-125, so the main 3 CPUs in my budget are the Phenom II X4 965,  FX 6100, FX6200, and FX6300. What are your thoughts on the best CPU for gaming of these choices?

ofc the vishera fx 6300

You are stateside and live in Chicago.

 

You have two Microcenters in Chicago.

 

Get an 8320 for $99. They still have them the last time I checked.

the fx 6300 would do the best and the intel cpu I would recommend if you decide to go for an intel cpu is the i3 4130 or the i3 4330 if you can find it with in your budget

[TechTheWorld]

Either get the 8320 at microcenter or get the FX-6300. It works great for me.

No comparison really, at that price range get a 6300, or if you're near a microcenter and can get a good deal get an 8350

I just checked microcenter.

 

Chicagoland/central has them for 129 plus tax.

 

OTD price is listed at 142.01 and they have 10+ in stock.

 

Westmont also has 10+ listed at 129 but has lower tax.

 

OTD price is listed at 139.41

 

I would pay the extra 20 dollars for the 2 extra cores.

It's $129 actually, but still within my budget. Thanks for that!

Yup. I added a post with that info and I checked both stores.

 

The last time I checked they were still 99 but they must have gone up between then and now. It's still not a bad price at all considering the 6300s usually go for 119(Newegg) or 109(microcenter)

[needmorewood]

since u live in the US microscenter should have 8320's in that price range in which i would get that but out of your posted optiond the 6300 by far

Definitely thinking about an 8320 now that I checked cpuboss.com and it's better in more categories. When I start working in a month and finally start buying parts, I could get a couple more bucks and get an 8350 and a mobo for it.
