Hey guys i have a question about the fx-6300. 

How does it perform on GoPro video editing?

I hope you guys have any tips for me wat to do.

It's fine, if you can afford an i5 that would be better though.

so wich i5 do i need to buy?

Any of them. The 4440/4460 is a good entry level, anything above that is just whipped topping.

and can you tell me why it is better because the fx 6300 has more core's

The i5 has less cores, yes. But each core is roughly twice as powerful as each core on the 6300.

The trap many people fall into when looking at CPUs is they think "more cores means more performance," which is just not true. IPC (instructions per clock) is much more important when it comes to how well a CPU can handle a workload. And the i5 destroys even the 8320/8350 in several editing/rendering benchmarks. When compared to the 6300, even the i3 outperforms it in certain instances.

Essentially, Intel is your better option.

thanks for this info

Basically the fx 6300 is a 3 core cpu with 2 tiny cores in each big core.

I'd just try using it if you already have it, no need to spend money on a problem that might not exist. 6 cores would help but like other have said the singular amd core isn't as powerful as an intel core. I'd just give it a shot and see what happens. Who knows it might be good enough for what you want to do. Also video editing loves to use ram and disk space, you might see a bigger jump in performance with more ram and an ssd cache drive.

If you are planning for gaming then choose i5 processor.
