fx 6300

[giasimbo]

Hello, I build a low bugget gaming pc, is the fx 6300 enough for gaming in 1080p or i have to get something like 8350 or i5?

The I5 would be the best thing you can get.

Get an i3 or an i5 if you can afford it. The FX sereis generally arent very good for gaming.

[GarnetDevil]

Depends on your GPU, anything below 960/280X shouldn't bottleneck the FX

 

However, I suggest going for i3 4150 instead if you can't afford the i5. Intel CPUs are just better than AMD in gaming because of the stronger single core

I think this is a really bad way to ask your question, and thus leaves it open to interpretation.

[giasimbo]

in my country its about 100 euros more to get the 4460...does it rly worth?

Yes it's worth it once you get it it will be future proof for a very long time.

So it depends on what games you play on, If they work better on higher performance cores but less of them then a i3/i5 would be a better option even an i5 from a generation or two ago would do better in that department however if the game can take good advantage of 6 Cores then go for the FX 6300, If I am honest if I were to make the choice again I'd go Intel Core i5 4670k.

the games I play mainly are almost all the blizzard games and some call of duty.

the fx-6300 is fine imo, i used my gtx 970 on it with no problem and that was at stock. you can overclock it though to around 4.2ghz and it will be better.

 

people say intels so much better at gaming but when it comes down to it, its like 3-5fps max on most games.

Blizzard games love single threaded performance. Getting an Intel CPU would get you much better frames in those games. An i3 4130 should suffice.

It is not 3-5fps. People like you spouting misinformation is why threads like mine exist:

You are better with either  an i3 or an i5. An i3 wrecks the 6300 in gaming

i think you know this isnt true

[arronleeds]

I think I know its true considering I had an fx-6300 and a gtx 970 and it ran with no problems.

With a less powerful GPU I noticed a significantly higher increase across almost all games. Other people's benchmarks will confirm. (@Faceman )
