Hi, In a few months time (probably August) I am going to build a Gaming PC, at first I was thinking about getting the AMD FX 6300, but I instead thought about getting the Intel core i3 4130, by the way I will be watching HD videos, word processing and I will be playing games like Minecraft, TF2, Cod, BF4, and possibly Crysis 3, so which CPU shall I get, my system specs: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3v5iw, I will also be upgrading to the i5 or i7 in maybe 3-4 years time.
Intel i3 4130 vs FX 6300?

Either is good for their price, the i3 is far better on single core performance while the FX6300 nabs top spot in multiple core performance.
One difference I'd look at is that the i3 has just 2 cores vs the 6 cores of the FX6300, with lots of new games coming out with increasing demands I think that its only a matter of time before they require minimum of 4 cores.
If you want to spend money to upgrade in the future thats fine but try and get the best you can now.
