And the Processors

Phenom II X3

Phenom X4

Any Help or information on which CPU i should get would be nice im jsut having trouble making up my mind. FYI i am gamer I Play all the Call of duty's all the Command and Conquer Series and Flight Simulators. I've been looking at the charts on here and the i saw that the Phenom II X2 and X3's were scoring higher than the X4 when it came to games.

+1 for the x3 it doesn become a x4 as often as the x2 but even if you fail to get it running x4 least you still have 3 strong cores

the Phenom II X3, or get the X2 and risk getting a quad core out of it.
