I currently have an FX-4100 overclocked @ 4.4Ghz, and it is the highest I can go to keep it cool and stable, it is much faster than it first started, and was a perfect match for the overclocked VTX3D HD6850 I had.
Since then I have upgraded to a HD 7870XT which I have overclocked to 1100Mhz, and bought it mainly to run most games on high - ultra settings. When I run BF3, I am bogged down by the CPU because it is always at 95+% and my GPU is sitting at a comfortable 40-50% usage.
I want to know which CPU would be best suited with this GPU, please vote in the poll and also give me a reason why you would get that CPU.
I have only included the 3 AMD CPU's, because I want to stick with AM3/+ for budget reasons, so please don't suggest Intel CPU's, I know Intel CPU's are generally better in single core performance, and as I understand it, when games start using next gen consoles as the baseline that gap will close a little due to all 6-8 threads being used fully, and that will port better over to PC's.
