AMD FX 6300

[Cs342]

Good for gaming? Trying to save money in my next build.

[Enderman]

whats your budget?

is this only gaming or will you be doing recording/editing/streaming too?

[Laputacake]

I3 would be better

[Johannes_Lazor]

It depends on teh game, As long as the game supports multi-threading, Yes.

[Cs342]

A bit of everything. Budget - roughly $1000 including the monitor

Dat 6 core though

with such a large budget you should go for an i5 instead

[Sousuke]

I have one and I think its great for gaming, have had no games I couldn't run on Very High Settings as of yet!

[Cs342]

I want an SSD and a good GPU though

[Laputacake]

Dat 6 core though

Yes, but they are different architectures so core count and clock speed are irrelevant. With a budget like that get an I5. Or if you want lots of threads (kinda like cores) get the Xeon 1230(1) V3

the FX 6300 is a good gaming cpu friend 

 

and the FX 6350 is even better (is the one that Linus use in his 4K built)  B)

Buy an i3, samsung EVO, GPU 970?280x?

They are the identical chip. No point in spending more on a few megahertz

you can fit an SSD and a good GPU with an i5 in a $1k budget

just ask for a build with those components in the "new builds and planning" section and someone will give yo a parts list

[OnekillWalter]

i like mine. its great OC with an aftermarket cooler.

Your name, avatar, signature and comment all say bias. You lack a bit of self-awareness "friend". Even if I were to look past that, the comment is still false.

 

$1000 build, squeeze in a locked i5. You'll thank yourself later.

[zappian]

Dat 6 core though

 

The i3 is much faster in games.

 

Games like stronger cores.

What game is that? I've never heard of it before.

I'll probably go for a 250GB SSD but other than that, this seems pretty good. I could save some money by going for an AMD R9 290 or something

+1 on what whorecakes said

[OnekillWalter]

<snip>

I don't think it was an attack, just generally someone whos name and avatar are AMD related *may* not be completely free of bias themself.

 

Also that 4K rig was made to run CS:GO and League etc at 4K, plus at 4K its more GPU bound, it's not the best video to represent AMD CPUs and gaming performance IMHO.

Nice build, except the Kingston SSD, which is crap. Crucial MX100 128GB for $65 would be better. You'll also need at least one 140mm case fan (two would be better) since the S340 has no front intake fans out of the box.
