I'm a new PC builder and I want to get the best CPU for the price.
I am particularly a big fan of AMD, but have heard that Intel is better.
Reading up, the Intel Core i3-Ivy Bridge is 3.3 GHz and most motherboards support PCI Express 3.0 x16, and most recent graphics cards (around or under $200) support this Expansion Slot.
The AMD FX-6300 is cheaper than the i3, but most of its motherboards support only PCI Express 2.0 x16, which older motherboards support.
I need help to decide which CPU is better.
