Hey guys, me again.
I been asking for quite some time now and got this build:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1886363/final-build-assistance-request.html

But I am too tight on the budget and I was considering to buy the FX6350 instead of the FX8350, since that is at LEAST €50 cheaper..

What I want to ask, is the difference in gaming really that much?
The FX6350 runs at only 0.1Ghz lower (Will OC anyway) and all newest games don't even use more then 6 cores...

So SHOULD I buy the FX6350 since I am too high on my budget?

Thanks in advance guys,
Mike.

(Also: What is the safe temp for the FX6350?)

For just gaming you wont really notice the difference, coz majority of the games usually utilizes 4 cores maximum, but if you start to multi task while gaming, you will surely notice it. Since you are on a tight budget and just looking to game? go for it, you can always upgrade later, and oh, streamrollers are coming, it might cut the 8350's price next year :D
