im debating between AMD fx-6300 for $120 and intel i5 3550 $100
this computer is mainly for gaming such as bf3, bf4(relatively low-med settings), and diablo III.
Other computer specs:
-AMD HD 6950(reference card)
-Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard(willing to get intel equivalent if i5 is much better)
-Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
not sure if anything else is relevant for my question
(both prices i found on frys.com, but the intel i5 i see on many sites going for much more than $100)
