I have picked this AMD CPU & i think that it will do what i am needing just some medium gaming like Max Payne 3 Painkiller games like those & i am sure that this AMD AM3+ will fit my budget & ill get the best bang for my $$$$ what do you fellas say ??
 
Solution
how much is the fx4130 costing you compared to the better piledriver fx4300 or fx6300?

I urge you to save a little more money for the fx6300.

I would honestly take an intel pentium over the fx4130 lol.

I wouldn't get it...bulldozer is pretty horrible. Get the fx4300 or fx6300, those are piledriver and MUCH better, spend the extra money or you'll just be disappointed.

if you truly can't afford something else you could get it....but when you're going to want to upgrade soon from it, it wouldn't be the end of the world, just get a fx6300. What's your GPU and Current CPU and Ram,etc specs? Are you building from scratch? What's your budget?

The fx 4130 isn't a good processor.....
If you are an amd guy please select amd fx4300 or fx 6300 as said above...
They are the newer architecture and better performance and lesser power consumtion..(95 watt vs 125 watt)

But I would recomment a core i-3 over this as its almost the same price & get 2 strong cores rather than amd's weak cores and for gaming purposes the single core performance just beats fx 4300......

Hope that helps .....Cheers bro..

That is indeed a good cgaming GPU.....

But to get the most out of your pc i would recommend to change the processor from amd fx 4130 to an i3-3220 or i5 or amd fx 6300...

These will suit your needs and give max performance..

Hope that helps..
