Hey Guys! So I've been looking for an amazing CPU that will do the job with games and desktop usage. Mostly for games, I've been trying to find the best one for games under the price tag of £110. I've also seen the i5 which is pretty nice although I'll be pairing the CPU with a Gigabyte R9 280x and I fear as if the AMD FX-8350 is better. I will be overclocking (Not too much, just be overclocking it to +0.5GHz or maybe more). At the moment my eyes are on the AMD CPU... It's at 4GHz which is pretty solid although, I need a CPU under £110 that will last for at least 3 - 3 1/2 Years :3. If the price tag isn't enough to get a better CPU for gaming then I'll stick with the AMD CPU.

My PC Specs:
CPU: (Currently) AMD FX-8350 Black Edition
GPU: Gigabyte R9 280x Rev2.0
Mobo: ASUS M5A97 (Evo???) R2.0
PSU: Corsair Builder CX600 600w
CPU Fan: (Recommended) Coolermaster Hyper-evo 212
RAM: 8GB DDR3

Yes I have a strange feeling yes in another 4 years time or so. Which the CPU might not be capable when you might upgrade the GPU and might bottleneck the 8350. So personally I would go with an i5, which is the best budget for overclocking too.
