I have been reading specs till I'm ready to fall off the perch!

Why is an FX-4350 much more expensive than FX-4130? When you look at the CPU review sites, there doesn't seem much between them....but one is nearly twice the cost of the other...?

I'm looking for a new mobo and cpu combo - I don't play any computer games - my current requirements are running Photoshop, 20 odd web pages, running 3 - 4 VM's, loads of documents open - word, excel, PDF's etc .....all whilst listening to music!

(I'm expecting to run >16GB ram)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry - totally c*cked up the post - meant the FX-4350 - (not 83 series) yes it's faster clock - but £30 worth?
