gaming? buy i3 or fx 6300 at the minimum

MOHaplier · Jan 15, 2015

Yeah but if i overclocked it to 4.7 it will be better than fx 6300!

MOHaplier :

On a Pentium G, you can really only perform a mild overclock on the CPU multiplier, 4.7GHz is out of the question. You could probably achieve 4.2 maximum.

so what's the best budget cpu now?
