fx 6300 or i3 4130? really confused!
ok guys enough with the argue, i will pick an answer but can i get cheap motherboard for both cpus? and btw if i buy 6300 i will not overclock it ,because im worried will not work on a cheap mobo ,so its ok for me for not over clocking it , i just want to know if can i use a cheap motherboard and use fx 6300 or i3 4130 for gaming? does the performance will affect on it?
If you don't plan on overclocking go with the i3-4130, it's the better option. As for motherboards, look for something like the Gigabyte GA-H87M-D3H. You don't need the expensive Z87 chipset as you don't plan on overclocking. That is if you can find it from a supplier near you. If you need cheaper, don't be afraid to bump down to a H81 or B85 chipset. The CPU itself is the important part for gaming performance, and stock vs stock the i3-4130 wins by a long shot.
A side question I have is what hardware do you already own? And what hardware do you need to buy for your new build?
