Hey all, I'm trying to upgrade my system so I can play some battlefield 4 and enjoy future games to come out. I need a new mobo, cpu, and memory. I was looking at some CPUs and I've always used AMD because it's the best bang for your buck. Two of the processors I found were http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286

and

Can someone tell me why the one with 4 cores has higher speed without turbo and it's cheaper...

I'm a semi nub with this and I'd like to learn more. Also willing to go other routes if anyone has any suggestions.
 
Solution
Get the FX 6300. It is a better gaming chip, especially for BF4. FX 4300 is about even with an old Phenom II 965. The FX 4300 is cheaper because it is a quad core vs a hex core.
