Hello, i want to buy a new CPU. I can get the FM1 Athlon II X4 651K and HyperX TX3 EVO cooler for about the same price as i3 2120. I will use my PC mainly for gaming.
I know that FM1 is a socket with no upgrade path but i won't be upgrading for about 5 years so any current socket should become obsolete by then.
So if i manage to OC the athlon II to 4-4.3GHz+ will it be better than i3 2120? I will use an Powercolor (is it a good brand?? i hear lots of bad stuff about them) hd 6850 and will game on 1440x900 res.
