Suggesting of cpu's for gaming

[Joey_Plays]

I need some suggestions on cpu's for gaming. I am willing to spend 100-120 At the most. I also want a quad core processor at the least. AMD is the better choice for budget building so i am looking for a AMD processor. Any suggestions would help.

Thanks!

Why do you want a quad core?

What are you doing on your computer? What Games are you playing?

Trust me, when we said i5s were the best for you, we meant it. You have $600 budget, you can afford it - I showed you in fact.

Hell, in gaming, a cheap i3 4170 will do better than the FX-6300.

Also recommend going skylake for i3 gaming as ddr4 makes a huge difference in low core gaming.

didnt u just ask for build help in a different topic lol..

i3 4160,6300 or 8320e. only those fit ur budget. between those ,clearly the 8230e is the fastest.

6300 is overall same as the 4160 in gaming. 

8320e is closer to the i5.

Most games need quad cores. Atleast the games i enjoy playing

[HKZeroFive]

In single core performance, yes.

 

Correct, in it which is more important in most games.

 

OP is planning to play CS:GO so Intel really seems to be the best choice.

Lol yeah i did. Looks like you respond to everything! Looks to be as if i am for sure going for the 8230e.

CSGO uses more than a core.

[xgn]

In single core performance, yes.

Why do people always say this? are back in 1980? Processors have more than 1 core today and it helps.

Granted some programs can only use 2 cores + ht but are usually light weight anyhow and you can tweak it in bios.

[Benji_w]

An i5 will be stronger for gaming than the 8320E. Trust me. If you're doing more than just gaming and need more cores, the FX will be better.

[Joey_Plays]

At the very least an i3? Even second hand will do if it works.

You don't want to be stuck with a dead end socket when you don't have good single core performance.

The 8320 should do good in gaming and due to it having 8 cores it will easily outrun the dual core i3

Please read the context behind what I said, FX chips are weak for single core performance, that's a fact.

[HKZeroFive]

Most games require four threads and the i3 provides it. If you're not willing to pay that much for a i5, get an i3 instead.

 

CSGO uses more than a core.

 

And CS:GO hates AMD CPUs.

i5 is kind of out of my budget. Im only looking to play games at 30-60fps low settings

money....its a good 50usd less.

[rafazafar]

dont worry u can play alot more than low settings. either medium or high. im pretty sure u can run witcher 3 at high-ultra*no hairowkrs 1080p with the build recommended earlier.

I've yet to run less than 300fps + with my system.

Make sure you get a decent motherboard for the chip and overclock it, Try combine the chip with 1866mhz ram with CL9 or lower (it will help with performance)

[Joey_Plays]

So, i should go with the i5 if i am wanting to play certain games on low/medium settings with 30-60fps? Or will the 8320e processor do the job?

[Benji_w]

You can pick up systems cheap 2nd hand if you search, I netted myself an i5 system with a K skew chip for £300.

List the games you wish to play. Some will run better with the intel CPU some will run on par.

Looks to me that you currently have a AMD FX 8350, is that a good processor for gaming in your opinion? Are you enjoying it? 

[HKZeroFive]

An i3 will create a significant difference between the two:

 

 

OP is more suited to get an i3 for other games anyway since most games like individual core performance.

It lacks single core performance but for the most part it does very well, I wish I would of replaced it with an 8370E because they can overclock to 5.2ghz and produce less heat.
