Which CPU is better for gaming?

insanity3241 · Oct 25, 2015

I am trying to see which processor is better for my budget, A8-5500 or an FX-6300

Will you buy a Video card:

Answer 1) - Yes

Then the 6300

Answer 2) - No

Then the A8 5500.

FX-6300 is far better for gaming. Minimum for not bottlenecking any major GPU is the A8-7600, so with a 5500 you'd be leaving a lot of FPS on the floor.

(as mentioned above, IF you're getting a discrete GPU...)

I built my boyfriend a modest gaming PC last year for Christmas. I got him the FX-6300 and so far its really shined. Not incredibly technically oriented here but that's my two cents

Thanks Guys! Im planning on buying a GTX 960 with it so thats why I wanted to know

For a gtx960 the fx 6300 is a good match.
