Hello there, I need a new CPU for my AM3 board and I was curious out of which of these should I get? I am also thinking of getting another graphics card (But not spending more than £80 if I can help it) to go with it. I'll ask about that in the appropriate section though
The two CPUs I am looking at are:
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz 9MB Cache

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 8MB L3 Cache
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/186428
There is only a slight difference in price so I was thinking should I go for the slower 6 core or the faster quad core? The main purpose of my PC is gaming, although I have a multi screen setup I use for work. My mobo is MSI 770-C45 AMD 770 AM3 but that should not have any problems with the CPUs right? (Just wanted to check)
I'm just a little unsure on whether or not I should go for the X6 one as compatibility may be an issue.
If you other suggestions, please make them. Every bit of help is appreciated.
Thank you.
