Okay, so I'm building a 700 gaming rig, only for gaming, no overclocking and no video editing. What I wanna know which is worth my money, fx 6300 or fx 8320, they seem really good but I need some help deciding. Oh there's also the option of an Intel i5 if that's what you would recommend

I'm a big fan of Intel's CPU's. I'm using an i5 4460 and have no problems playing any games. If your not going for a "K" series, then I would go with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54440. It's the cheapest i5 at the moment, and is a really great gaming CPU.

Edit: What are your other parts for the build? Have you decided, or do you need help choosing?

Here's the verdict. Any i7 would runs circles around any FX processor. An i5 would be occasionally be matched with an FX series processor, but more often then not it won't be. It would be doing semi-circles around the FX processor.

Gaming wise, Intel has the superior processor. Before ADM fan-boys start to rant, I am 100% unbiased. All of what I'm about to say has been tested and proven.

An example being, if an FX - 8350 and a i7-4790k were to both play Far Cry 4 with ultra setting on. Despite the FX -8350 being an octa core processor and the i7 - 4790k being a quad core. The i7 would have substantially higher FPS. The i7 would have 60 - 100 frames depending on environmental factors in the game, while an FX - 8350 would struggle to sustain 60 FPS often dipping to the 30 - 40 range. (This is providing they both have the same amount of RAM with the same speed, and the same video card)

You get what you pay for.

That's a pretty solid start. Do you need an operating system to fit into your budget?
