I am looking to build a gaming rig to play dragon age inquisition and am trying to decide on a cpu.
i3 has superior single thread and future upgrade potential.
860k has ok performance and possibility of upgrades
fx6350 has good performance but am3+ is pretty much dead
and I5 would be preferred but it too expensive.
No matter what cpu I choose it would be paired with an r9-270

The I3 will outperform in 80-90% of the cases.

I vote I3.

I would say though to see if you can scrape enough together for an I5 - your machine will run a lot smoother.

i looked at the prices . FX 6300 is $20 cheaper now, compared to i3 4150 . FX 6300 would be enough for R9 270

Thanks for all the input looks like I will go with an i3 and if I need more power I can throw and i5/i7 in later
