PC Gamer recommends the 6300 for budget builds.
ok, but you said you have a $650 budget, it's a no brainier no pun intended. I've been building gaming rigs a long time. i use a simple analogy, when you put a weak link in a chain, that chain is only as good as the weakest link. and i don't mean to give the impression i use high priced components to do it. but, i digress..good luck..
How does Intel make you monitor display more than 60hz fps ? Spending $650 on a CPU just for gaming is ridiculous and just a plain stupid waste of money and CPU.
YOU SAID: (Should I get the AMD Phenom 1045T for gaming? I am building a gaming pc, and i have a budget of around 650 dollars, I have seen this processor and a motherboard bundle for cheap and i was wondering if this is already outdated, and if I should get something more futureproof.)
I NEVER SAID: you should spend $650 on A CPU ONLY, if you want something more future proof, (your words). I said intel is the way to go for (future proofing) in my experience, and opinion...because i come from the AMD side. and I don't like spending anymore money on components than i have to, i'm cheap. but..for example i rock a I5-2500k base OC 3.5, and turbo @ 4.5 EASY.especially gaming...on a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Socket 1155). (items bought on black Friday by the way) and i'm strugglingto upgrade now to the I7-3770k even at $229 at microcenter, because this 25k runs every thing i throw at it, plus this board switches to PCI-E 3.0 when i pop in a Gen3 cpu. it's pointless for me to invest in even a I5-3570k because 25k runs so good.
you miss understood our dialog some how. research is key to your dilemma, if you still have one.
