Please help me choose from these CPUs

[zildjosh97]

I'm building a budget gaming pc right now, and I'm still confused on what cpu and mobo to pick because I'm considering their performance/price ratio. Please help me. These are the parts I already picked:
HITACHI 500GB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA
POWERCOLOR HD7770 1GB GDDR5 128BIT
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB 1333MHZ
COOLER MASTER LAN 241 BLACK
AEROCOOL VP PRO 500W

These are my choices:
Intel Core i3-3210
Intel Core i3-3220
AMD FX-4100
AMD FX-6100
AMD FX-4300
AMD FX-6300

When you choose, include a recommended and cheap mobo for it.

I would say go for the FX 6300 + amd AMD 760 or 770 chipset based mobo, you just need to update the bios for new veshera FX processors support.

wait for maybe better suggestion

Would the process of updating the bios hard? I hear that if there's nothing wrong with your BIOS you shouldn't update it. Well, that's what the manufacturer of my old mobo said.

Or, is it better if I go down to Pentium G203 or G202 and spend more for my graphics card?

Okay, if it were me, I would forget the Intel Core i3's if you cannot afford an Intel Core i7. I would stick with the AMD FX-6300 since it's newer and you can overclock it easily.
Also, I would recommend getting a CPU cooler for it if you plan on overclocking. If you don't want to overclock, don't even bother. Good luck.

In this case its necessary to make bios of this mobos up to date so they can run the FX 6300.. or you can consider buying them (mobo+cpu) from one place so you can get them updated and ready..

Or, is it better if I go down to Pentium G203 or G202 and spend more for my graphics card?

Don't you even think about it ..
