I am building a PC for my dad, and we are on a bit of a budget (it's hard to say exacly what it is as hardware is really expensive here in denmark where i live so it's hard to say what it'll be in $ or £). I am not looking for a CPU that can overclock or anything like that, he does a bit of gaming (minor, and doesn't mind them not being on ultra settings). The reason why i have problems with this is because i simply have never looked into AMD CPU's as i have always been an Intel fanboy, so i have no clue what to get that is really good but also on the cheaper side of an FX8320.

Thank you for your help in advance

The FX-6300 is really good value for money. But a Core i3 is a solid option too.

Edit: The FX-6300 is available at 721 Danish kroner, the Core i3-4130 at 766.
