Help with picking a CPU

[consoleconvert]

Right now I am looking at the AMD Athlon X4 860X as my CPU. It's use will be a medium amount of gaming like Civ V, TF2 and Fallout 4 when it comes out. Do you think the X4 is good enough or should I look for a better CPU.

Please get an i3 just save for it as skylake is coming out soon

That's terrible advice. If you want someone to wait for skylake, then just wait for skylake, dont tell them to buy a brand new CPU for a month or two...

If anything if they needed a very cheap CPU for that length of time at least recommend the G3258

Would you like to be stuck in a dead socket with no upgrade path?

No? Go i3 and an LGA 1150 motherboard

I was saying save and by the time you have saved skylake will have released

Ok, just hard understanding what you wrote originally then I guess.

Moving from an AMD CPU to a Intel CPU was a waste of money for me. The only perk I see (which is the only thing i did it for) was I could upgrade using one socket and mobo. So if you want to upgrade eventually.. go for Intel, but if you don't plan on upgrading, the AMD will work just fine. Both are great. GOOD LUCK!
