First of all, I'm PRETTY sure the FX-4130 is going to be better, but I want to double check.
My brother bought a Celeron G1820 to update his BIOS so he could use a Haswell Refresh CPU on an older Z87 motherboard.
I'm currently running an FX-4130 with 8 gigs of RAM and an overclocked R9 270.
I have a Z87 motherboard ready for when I can afford an i5 CPU, but was wondering if I'd see any better performance from the Celeron.
Only reason I'm asking is because since having purchased the FX-4130, I've seen some people say its performance is pretty pathetic. Yes, I know it'd be quad core vs dual core with no hyperthreading.
The game I play the most only uses two cores, so better per-core performance would be better for that. I don't use many other GPU/CPU intensive programs (most would probably Blender for simple models).
Am I better off sticking with the FX-4130, or should I make the switch to the G1820? Also, the Intel motherboard has 6 GB/s transfer speeds vs 3 on the AMD motherboard, meaning I'll see better performance from my SSD.
