AMD FX 8320E vs AMD FX6300

Julio Luna · Apr 28, 2015

Ok so you have like maybe 115 bucks left to your name, but you don't know what cpu to get for gaming, multitasking, and music. but what AMD CPU is best??? 8320E or FX6300.

Mobo im getting is MSI 970 gaming.

This is a budget question.

Need help!!!

Get the gigabyte 970 ud3p and use the saved money to get a 8320.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($136.48 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($76.98 @ Newegg)
Total: $213.46

The 970a ud3p is a very good mobo maybe even better than the msi 970 gaming one.

I see microcenter is at 99.99 8320E but in-store only.
I see microcenter is at 119.00 8320 but nin-store only.

Usually The 8320 8320E are the same price.

The 6300 is a good CPU the 8320's a little more future proof.

For gaming isn't it better to go with i3 4160 or i5 4460 anyway? Too bad for AMD but whatever.

If one want to support them that's fine.

I would had taken FX-8320E over FX-6300.

Go with 8320 and you don't have to ask? =P

Assuming your picking these up at microcenter, i would pair the 8320E and the 990fx ud3 combo. You want to have a good quality board to overclock your 8320E, if your not overclocking/ dont want to learn, go intel.
