FX6300 (Black Edition) or i5 4440 for gaming?

[wtfnaj]

I've been all psyched up on getting a new PC but right now I'm at a fault:

I hope to use the PC mostly for gaming and even to learn Graphic Designing & Animating so far I've found me the right specs other then CPU. Currently:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB - 8GB DDR3 1333mhz - 500GB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s

So I wanted to know what would be for gaming an FX6330 or an i5 4440
I wish to play games like Battlefield 4 or AC4 whilst using fraps

P.S & yh I know this is getting long but although i3 4340 with 3.6GHz is significantlly well faster then i5 4440 would it be better? This would make me really happy if you'd answer I've been searching the internet for days now!

Never get an AMD x1x0 CPU, they are an old, slow architecture. The 4440 is much faster than the 4340. I would get an AMD 8320, not much more than a 6300. You also want a larger harddrive than that, like 1tb.

1. i5-4440
2. FX6300
3. i3-4340
4. I would not even pay $50 for the FX4130

The extra cores are a massive bonus to rendering, so in your case an 8320 is your best option if you can afford the $20 extra for it. If not, I would go for a 6300.

So how do these specs sound for £526.10

AMD FX 8320 Black Edition - 8GB DDR3 1333mhz (1x8GB) - 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s - AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB - On board 7.1 Audio - No Operating System -

How about 8350 vs i5 4440

How about 8350 vs i5 4440

FX 8350 is just a factory overclocked FX 8320. FX 8320 will match FX 8350 speeds with just a multiplier bump.

Thanks but if I have to choose should I go for the FX 8320 or the i5 4440?

The i5 4570 is $7 more than the i5 4440. I would get that.

In your case, FX 8320.

i-5 4440 should beat the fx 6300 in rendering too.
I would also recommend going for a fx 8320.

 

[ewok93]

The 4440 would probably be better for rendering, but the 8320 would be best.

 

[CTurbo]

I would take the FX8320 over the 4440 but not over the 4570
