A better CPU?

jaygupta12345 · Jul 5, 2014

Hey! I will soon be building a gaming PC. I want a CPU which is better than AMD 760K but does not crosses $120/$130 mark. Integrated graphics are not required as there will be a seperate graphics card. Thank You!

AMD FX-6300 or Intel Core i3 4000 series

There's nothing that's really better. FM2 is also a dead socket. So if you want a reasonable upgrade, you'll need to change your motherboard as well, which results in you having to likely re-install your operating system.

AMD FX 6300 is a better CPU with 6 cores/3 modules and L3 cache.

Yes, but I am just planning my build now.

Joseph DeGarmo :

Everything after the i3 is pointless because they're over the budget.

i3 has only 2 cores and can't be overclocked. In games that don't use more than 2 cores the performance is better than of an FX CPU.
