Which of these processors are better?

[MacaulayRose7]

Hello,

During the early developments of building my PC, I still have not decided on the processor. For the processor itself I havw a price range of £100, A couple of extra Pounds if necassary. Anyway for my system I will be doing a lot of Web browsing, downloading etc but most of all playing Flight Simulator X. Which is better out of the processors below. The AMD looks promising.

The Intel processor is much better for gaming.

But the AMD has 4 Cores and 4.20 GHZ.

i3 2120 is pretty much the best bang for the buck. if you can spend a little more on a ivy bridge chip, id suggest getting the i5 3450. if you get a i5, you get 2 more cores and quite a bit more processing power. remember with ivy bridge chips, you will have to pick up a h77 board like the msi h77ma-g43

heres a link to the i5 3450

either way, get the i3 2120 or get the i5 3450. if you can wait a bit longer, id get a ivy bridge i3.
