Hey, I know i5 is better but also 85 Dollars more, is it worth it? It streches my budget but going for 6300 will give me money for a Hyper 212 EVO and overclock, i will have 7950 for Graphics

Opinions?
Thanks

Oh, I was typing, didn't see your answer, I would easily chose i5 over FX if I had the money, still think you stand on a good point which I fully agree with. For my needs I really think a 6300 will do just fine! Thanks anyways!

The 6300 will do just fine, and if you overclock it, you will see even better performance. You won't bottleneck a HD 7950 with that CPU, as it will push a pair of HD 7970s in Crossfire just fine.

Good luck with your build.

Where are any benchmarks showing that a 6300 can't run a 7950? It's not like we're talking about an i3 that can't run even a 7870 well, much less a 7950. :whistle:
