Okay so I bought the FX-6300 this week, and when I first got it the BF4 beta was running like **** and so I went ahead and bought the FX-8320. Thing is, after the last patch the BF4 beta is running much better now on my FX-6300. Because of this I feel like I shouldn't of bought the 8320, I haven't gotten it in the mail yet though.

When I do get it in the mail, should I keep or just sell it back online? Is it all around better than the FX-6300? Does it consume a lot more energy too and will my PSU be able to handle it?

Here are the rest of my specs:
8 GB DDR3 1600
Radeon HD7850 900mhz core, 1200mhz boost
COOLER MASTER Elite 460 PSU
GA-78LMT-USB3 MicroATX motherboard

You should never really bsae anything off a beta stage of the game :/ that 8320 bought was a bit impulsive i think.

There is not much diference the 6300 will handle BF4 with no problem.
So i would just return the 8320 and keep the fx6, if you ever feel like you need more power later on, you can always update later to a 8350 and switch around some more things like the GPU (required you get a better PSu as well).

For now it should be more than enough.

Thanks for the responses. After yet another update, the BF4 beta is playing really smooth now on my FX-6300. Honestly, if it were playing this good from the beginning I would of been fine with the FX-6300, but since I already bought the FX-8320 (and yeah it was an impulse buy) I think I'm just going to go ahead and keep it and sell the 6300. Although the FX-8320 power consumption kind of concerns me.
