Hey guys, i'm building a gaming pc soon (i hope) and i intended to buy a GTX 950 xtreme gaming from gigabyte and a AMD FX-6300, which is a 6-core cpu, but i'm afraid the cpu won't be good enough in some games, i would play GTA V, Need for Speed 2015 and some other games, can you guys recommend me a better cpu for gaming than the fx-6300? I know there's some cheap used CPU's on ebay and amazon, Can you guys name me some good used CPU's that are better for gaming than the FX-6300 and cheaper, or the same price? I can get a FX-6300 for £68, which is 96$.

 

 

Quote me so I can reply back :)
