Games like battle field 3/4, far cry 3, crysis 3, ect.

What would be better the i5 up there or the AMD FX-6300 http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FX-Series-Six-Core-Processor-FD6300WMHKBOX/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365372664&sr=8-1&keywords=AMD+FX6300?

The FX8350 would be best...but the FX8320 would give similar performance. If you intend to overclock the FX6300 would be about as good as the FX8320.

My personal recommendation is for the FX8350. I think you would be supremely happy with it.

Also, newegg has a combo deal up right now where you can get a Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 + FX8350 with $20 discount plus you get an additional $20 mail in rebate on the MoBo. Which makes the CPU $179 and the MoBo $119 (or $199 for CPU and $99 for MoBo if you prefer)

For a good budget MoBo I would look at the Asrock 970 extreme3 for about $75 and I believe it is combo'ed on newegg as well for $20 combo discount.

would you recommend the AMD FX-8150 8-Core Black Edition or the AMD FX-8320 Eight-Core Processor Black Edition, because I do not really want to pay the $200 for the other ones?

I don't even think you can play Farcry3/Crysis3 or Battlefield 4 on medium settings with 60 FPS, Battlefield 3 yes.

 

[MrBanana]

What would you recommend for me than?

Thank you for the help, but it is over my budget by quite a bit.

Yeah, you might wanna wait for the next gen for the prices to come down I guess...

This is your best option by far. Should play those titles at med to high settings.
