hi i am considering getting a new cpu. I am trying to choose between the fx 4300 and the fx 6300
the 6300 is only 10 pounds more expensive will i gain much performance getting the 6300 over the 4300

Absolutely get the FX-6300. It's one of the best budget gaming CPUs for your money. Especially if you put an overclock on it.

No it won't, and neither will the 4300. You need an AM3+ socket for those processors. If that's your motherboard, you'll have to take a look at something like this

strnge , on the msi website it says they are both compatible

That doesn't make any sense... The AM3+ physically won't fit in an AM3.

it says on my mother bord box supports am3 + cpu eith new bios b2 stepping ready

mod us :

Okay, well there's a difference between the motherboard you linked and the MSI board of the same product line that has an AM3+ socket. If your board is the one from the Amazon link, then this is not your motherboard.

Make absolutely sure which is your motherboard, because the AM3+ CPUs have one more pin than the AM3 socket, and thus will not physically fit. No BIOS upgrade can change that.

I guess I should have just looked up the MSI 760GM. Amazon got the specifications wrong. Your motherboard DOES support the FX-6300

Someone should show Amazon the error of their ways
