only these two. i dont have enough for an i5, and certainly not enough for an expenive intel motherboard. between the fx-4350 and the fx-6300, which one is better and why? i will prob be overclocking, so yeah. will i ever need 6 cores for gaming? specifically, in the next two years, will any games be developed that will use 6 cores? just two years. cause im leaving home for 18 months in two years.
 
Grab the 6300. Even if those games can only use 4 cores or less, more unused cores in the back to run background tasks = less stress on the cores games are using.

If you're going to OC anyway, then FX4300=FX4350, and FX6300=FX6350. This means another reason to get the fx6300.
 


I totally forgot about cpuboss.com cuz I blocked it in chrome. I hated the website popping up every time I searched for cpu information. It's interesting though.

The fx-4350 and fx-6300 are about the same price. So I guess you gotta go fx-6300. Even thought the fx-4350 has a higher clock and turbo clock speed it still doesn't perform as well as the fx-6300. If the 4350 was $15 less than I'd recommend it.
