Hello I want to purchase a new gaming pc but i am confused between these two.I don't do any overclocking.
So which one is better for latest games.
 
Solution
gaming wise the i3-4150 is a little bit ahead with an overclocked fx 6300 and even matches the 8350 in some games.

you cant overclock an i3.

In compute intensive games that scale well to the many cores of the FX chip, the FX-6300 and i3-4150 perform about the same. In compute intensive games that only scale to 1-4 threads, the i3-4150 always performs better. In games that aren't compute intensive, they perform the same.

Jonas, you're comparing an APU to a CPU. The apu is obviously going to be better in graphic intensive things - that's what it was designed for.
For cpu performance (if you had a dedicate gpu or render videos or so) the I5 is more than twice as fast.

As for I3 vs Fx in games, the I3 would probably win in 80% of all games and perform similar in 15 out of the remaining 20%. However, getting an I5 4460 isn't that much of an extra and should be worth it, especially for online games.

+1 to this

i5 4460+ r9 280x >>(is superior)>> a10-7850k + r9 280x

especially if you play cpu intensive games like crysis 3 and bf4 multiplayer.
