So I'm on a budget and I brought a FX 6350 instead of a i5 3350p to save $50
Was it worth it? I'm pretty sure It doesn't matter. I know it won't peform as good as an i5 but it's still a decent gaming CPU, I think. The reason I got it was because I couldn't get a FX 8320 shipped to my country, and on CPU passmark the FX 6350 had a very similiar score to the i5 3570k.

So I have two questions,
1. Is the FX 6350 a good gaming CPU (for the money, and compared to the i5 3350p)
2. Will I have to upgrade my PSU (Mine is 320W)

Specs (that I will have once I get new parts)

CPU: FX 6350
Mobo: ASRock 970 Pro3 R2 AM3+
CPU: GT 240
RAM: 6GB DDR3 1333Mhz
PSU: 320W


 
Solution
the i5 3550p stomps it for gaming. gt240 is going to be the limiting factor for gaming by far though. dont go by passmark, that is about as useful for judging performance as measuring how fast a horse is by counting sheep jumping over a fence
