Hi, I'm building my computer for the first time, and I did some research and narrowed it down to 3 CPUs that would fit my budget.

AMD FX-4350
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113326&cm_re=fx_4350-_-19-113-326-_-Product

AMD FX-6300
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286&cm_re=fx_6300-_-19-113-286-_-Product

AMD FX-8350
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284&cm_re=fx_8350-_-19-113-284-_-Product

I use my computer mostly for MIDI programs and internet surfing, and the only game I play is league of legends.

I see that the FX-8350 has the best specs, but I looked at some benchmark charts saying the 4350 or 6300 is better and valuable.

Help!!

UPDATE

I've been reading the forums, and thought posting all my computer parts might help

https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

This is what I have so far.
I couldn't find the GPU I own on the pcpartpicker website, it's Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX

For the motherboard, I'm going to buy whatever microcenter offers as a bundle with the CPU

The link shows a 4460 Intel CPU and a Hero mobo which don't play in here and is a poor combination as the 4460 is a locked CPU ;)

For what you listed I'd go the 6300, don't think the 8350 is worth the difference in price

I've updated the links, it should work fine now.

Ok, is there a huge difference between the 6300 and the 8350? There's a $70 gap between the two, I want to know if it's worth it.

I hope you mistake with that 8800 GTX, that is a GPU from 2001.
If the 8350 fits in your budget, you could probably spend 20 U$S more and buy a I5-6500, is the best you can get for 200 U$S.
The 8800 GTX will run quake 1 and minecraft at low settings with no problems, so go ahead.

At micro center, the FX-8350 and M5A97 R2.0 ASUS motherboard was a bundle for $200. I don't want to spend more than $130 on just the CPU, but thanks for the suggestion ;)

Sorry for the confusion with the link. I guess there's something wrong with my internet.

I guess I'll go for the 6300 then, thank you :)

Ok, that's a good combo, but you are really thinking in buying that GPU? Dude, that's from 2001...

I wanted more than a quad core because I often have more than 3 plug-ins running at the same time, plus the virtual instruments and samples.

Actually, I already own it. The only reason I have this graphics card is because the recommended League of Legends requirements is a 8800 GTX or a better card, and I was able to get it at $30.
