Which CPU is best for budget gaming.

[FluxRogue]

I really want a gaming pc that can fit my budget, but what I'm stumped on is what CPU to get, here are my options

Intel Core i3-3220

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black

The graphics card that I'm going to get is a Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 1GB card.Which CPU would I get more for my money?

As in here and in benchmarks, Intel 3220 seems better than AMD's:

I would suggest you to go with the AMD's CPU, but 3220 it's not far away from Phenom in terms of price so you should definitely go for the 3220.

if your sure only games then intel that cpu is not enough for other stuff

if youre buying phenom at that price buy i5-3350P or i5-4440 or other starting i5 @4x2.8ghz+
