8150 or 8120

[saint7269]

Should I just get the 8120 and OC it? I'll save money and the FX8*** run rings around my Athlon X4 630.
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/434?vs=105 I was also thinking about grabbing this cooler to go with the 8120. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

get niether. your Athlon II X4 is currently better than the bulldozer unless you need somthing with 8 cores. Or if you want a faster processor go with the Phenom II X4 or X6 sence bulldozer is like the prescott/P4.

So would a phenom II 980 or 1100T! http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/434?vs=362

I'm a gamer mostly. I know Bulldozer runs new games well. But your right about waiting for the stepping revision. And the new AMD/Nvida GPU's are right around the corner.
