ok so i narrowed my choices down to these 2 cpus.
fx-6100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103962
and
phenom II x4 980
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103935
they are the same price and i was wondering which is the "better" choice for now and the future. I play games such as starcraft and other first person shooter and will continue to play games in the future. I want the one with the overall better performance. Do software and games now utitlize all 4 cores and will 2 extra cores make a big difference? how soon will there be software and games that utilize all 6 cores?
If i can hear some pros and cons of each, it will make my decision a lot easier. Thanks! :lol:
