Evening folks,
Been looking at getting a new Processor for a while now and finally acquired the funds to do so.
Had a quick look around eBuyer and noticed that they had a few AMD's on offer.
Possibilities are 4350 (4.2GhZ), a 6300 (3.5GhZ) or at a push a 6350 (3.9GhZ).
Had a bit of advice off a friend who recons the 4 core 4350 will be the better option for running games such as BF4, that the 6 core is just overkill.
What do you folks recon and are there any better deals for around the £100 mark?
Cheers

Here you can see that there is almost no difference between FX series and i5 or i7 series

About the motherboard, yes, it is able to run six cores

no way 6 cores are overkill indeed battlefield 4 is optimized for AMD 6 cores, so unless you want to face frame drops, get a 6300 or 6350, there is absoloutly no sense to go 4 cores, more games are on the way which will use even up to 8 cores, for example crysis 3 or watch dogs wich will use 8 cores, so go for the middle ground grab either 6300 or 6350, don't buy the 4350

also the level techspot.com has put into test is not the cpu dependant level, check here to see the difference, http://www.bf4blog.com/battlefield-4-retail-gpu-cpu-ben... , I wouldn't get the 4350 really, I think maurelie also agrees with me on this one

this one says something else http://www.bf4blog.com/battlefield-4-retail-gpu-cpu-ben... , techspot had tested only one level which was not a cpu dependant level presumingly

if i were you i would buy fx 6350, because of two reasons, games are getting heavily threaded, there is no sense to buy 4350 really and honestly...if you bought 6300 or 6350 you will be fine even in games like crysis 3 http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Crysis-3-PC-235317/Tests/... you see in this game there is no name of fx 4350 because it does poorly in this game, and alot of examples I can provide you with ... now we are down to one question 6350-6300 is it worth the price difference? yes! look here http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-FX-6350-vs-AMD-FX-6300 there is part which says value...Are you paying a premium for performance? yes so get the fx 6350

if you still have the mobo fx 6300 is the final decision....because your mobo supports fx 6300 not 6350 look here http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/M5A78L-M_LX.html
