Currently I'm still rocking this "ancient" processor overclocked to 3.6Ghz (And is still ok with it's performance.). Still though I wouldn't expect this comp to run much longer, so I'm currently looking for an AMD processor that matches its performance but actually capable of overclocking.

I think that the current i-series do not support any kind of overclocking and the current available, unlocked i7-4770K processor in our local is very very much out of my price range ($350) .

The highest priced AMD processor available in my price range is the A10-5800K ($127) but sadly I wasn't able to find any specific comparisons as the generation gap between the two processors is quite huge.

There's also the FX-6100 which has similar price which I think is a bad idea because I think this processor is not the most recent in this price range.

Yes I know, actually this is my third mobo for the E8200. The last I used mobo is a Socket 775 but it uses DDR3 RAM. So at least I would only need to buy a new mobo plus the processor.

@Someone Somewhere
Sadly, the Fx6300 isn't available in our local shops. That is the main problem, so that's why I'm asking....

Anyway for additional info, what I'm kinda asking is that the issue is that the FX6300 on stock is as fast as an E8200 overclocked @ 3.6Ghz?
