Hey guys . I'm planning to buy a mid end gaming rig. And as do most I have a budget . In my country (New Zealand ) parts are a little for expensive . I was thinking of going with the fx 6300 for my CPU . It's amd I know but I can't afford a intel (the intels I can afford are i3s so please don't recommend them ) is this CPU enough for intense gaming on ultra settings ? Like battlefield 4 skyrim , planet side 2 all those CPU intensive games ? It's paired with the gtx 660 oc version (non ti ) . Will they bottleneck ? I m red your thoughts and please . No trolling and don't make this a. Amd vs intel battle .

the 6300 will not bottleneck your 660. will you get ultra on bf4? probly on 720p. very high on 1080p probly.

yes the fx 6300 is the best CPU on the budget(can overclock it too with Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler), if you're going to be doing CRAZY multitasking, I'd get more ram. I had 8gb and with chrome open in the background with several tabs games like BF4 would crash and tell me my pc was out of ram, I got 16gb of ram now just to be able to game and have a browser open with lots of tabs in the background and have had no problems :p

Yea I'm looking at 8gb at the moment . Because I'm sacrificing a better CPU / GPU for less ram .but I will want to upgrade the ram in bye he near future.

they'll play, I'm not gonna lie and tell you it'll be 60fps constant with everything maxed out because that game is known to have optimization issues to this day they claim they're working on. I heard on some forums to even put Planetside 2 on an SSD to stop stuttering.

The FX 6300 has 6 cores but each of them are weaker compared to an Intel core, you can somewhat negate this by unparking your cores and overclocking the cpu, just keep it at 60c not above...some say it's ok above but from the vast majority of what I've read it's not good for the life expectancy of the AMD cpu to keep them that hot
