AMD CPU for under $100

[rward8585]

I am currently building my first gaming pc, and am wondering what kind of gaming cpu would be good for under $100?

4350, if you you are luckily then the 6000 series will be available. On a  very good day a fx 8320 will be less then $100.

[FlakeyBanana]

You can keep your eye out for a cheap 8320 , if your super luck you might get a 8350

Can't go wrong with the FX6300 from AMD for $109USD on Newegg.

How much better is the 6300 over the 6100? I have the 6100 now. Is the 6300 a big improvement?

In the real world, probably wouldn't notice enough performance differential to justify the change.

The 6300 (piledriver) performs about on par with a 8120 (bulldozer) so it's a massive improvement.

It's pretty much just a Higher base clock.

nooo...... its using the piledriver archetecture vs the bulldozer on the 6100. there is a decent difference between the 2

Fx 6300 is best heat performance and over locking wise

Ohsorry, I thought it was like the 8320 and the 8350

[tedjani]

FX 6300 is a great choose but just try if you can get FX 8320

[Kamina]

The FX 6300. Around $100.

for under $100 the FX-4300 or the 4130. but for slightly over that, what they said

Any bulldozer based cpu sucks always go piledriver (43xx, 63xx, 83xx).

AMD X4 750K is not to bad if u r not overclocking but ur gaming will mostly depend on GPU

Plan your build as a whole and not part by part unless you're asking for an unbalanced build.

[mgsstar]

Personally I would spend a bit more than $100 and get a decent cpu like the FX 6300 as this offers a great price to performance ratio.

The 750K has an even better value.

[KneesWeak]

750k or 6300, i wouldnt go for a 4300 or anything

[AMICLG]

If your doing a $400 ish build get a 750K but if you're doing a $600 ish build definitely get a 6300. If you post your budget then this can be tailored to you.
