AMD fx conundrum

[theBorth]

I'm ordering my first custom PC today! really excited but I'm not sure if I should get a 8320 or and 8150 they are both bundle deals and only $4 different, price is my limiter so I've been going for best "bang for your buck" my price is around 1300 dollars before MIR's. Any suggestions would be appreciated :D

8320, it's newer. OC it a tiny bit and you have an 8350 :D

Yeah the FX 8320 is an underclocked FX 8350, just like the Phenom II X4 955 was to the Phenom II X4 965.

The FX 8150 however is based on the old and highly unsuccessful Bulldozer architecture .

Definitely the 8320.

8320. No questions asked. If yo could spare the extra cash, then the 8350 would be a better option if you were thinking about overclocking as the 8320 is simply a lower quality (Not bad quality) 8350, they get the 8320's from the binning process at the production line.
