Is the athlon ll x3 455 better than the x3 450?

Which would go best with a amd 6770

They're essentially the same CPU, only one has a slightly higher clock speed.

I would recommend taking a look at the Phenom II X4 965

I agree with the above poster. Spend the extra to get the quad core cpu since they use the same socket. With OC, you can use stronger graphics cards should you upgrade yours in the future.

The FX-4100 is a nice option, however I would HIGHLY recommend the Phenom II X4 965.

They can be obtained for around the same price, and they perform better than the FX-4100.

FX-4100 is not a good choice, not as good of a choice as the 965BE.

If you're a gamer, I would agree. Go with the PHII X4 965BE while you can still find them. They O/C like a dream.
