AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black vs FX 6300?

Tags:

Planning on building a system and can't decide between these two CPU's. I know the 955 is older, has two less cores, and is clocked slower but its also ~40$ cheaper. Would the 955 bottleneck an HD 7850? I could always upgrade to the fx-6300 in the future anyways once the 955 gets too outdated. Any opinions?

It just beat out the 955 in all those charts, plus it's more power efficient than a 955


Would you say a 955 works for the time being though? I could always upgrade to a 6300 (or higher) in the future as soon as the 955 becomes obsolete.

I say its better just to go FX 8350 in that case - why would you wanna spend 80$ for a CPU now, just to spend 140$ later on?

Hm, I would get a HAF 912 from newegg - good case for 60$, lots of slots and space. And just get Windows 8, a lot cheaper.


I was pretty set on all of my other parts which is why I think i'll just go with the 955. Thank you for the help though, I realize the 6300 is probably the better choice. Just doesn't fit in my budget right now
