Is the AMD FX-6300 good for a budget gaming build?
I'm building a $500 budget gaming PC and for the CPU I am planning to use the FX-6300. Is it a good bang for buck cpu?

Yes it is. The alternative is a Pentium G3258 from Intel. Pair it with cheap H81 mobo + stock cooler and you'll go to 4.2 Ghz OC. Pair it with 270X and you "ready to go" (750Ti for a cheaper solution, but still an "OK" gaming rig).

Can be a great CPU when paired with a decent card. Would recommend the R9 270X for a build like this.

It's pretty good for it's price. I'm actually building a PC soon using this CPU and from what I've heard it's pretty decent.
