Which cpu

[langley8]

hi im not sure what CPU would be best for playing games such as BF3 online

AMD Phenom™ II X4 965 or AMD FX 4100 or an i3

i will most likely be using an HD7950 or 6870
thanks

also i only have a budget of around £200 including motherboard and RAM and would prefer to order from https://www.aria.co.uk/

First preference goes to the core i3 2120.
Next goes to the x4 965.

The FX-4100 is the worst among the 3 when it comes to gaming

If you are going to overclock get the Phenom.Otherwise buy the i3.The FX 4100 needs a heavy OC to compete with them.
