They are completely different types of CPU. You are trying to compare a dual core, 2 thread CPU to a hex-core, 6 thread CPU.

And frankly, you want to play Minecraft at 10 FPS? Cause that's what you'll get on your $200 "Gaming" PC.

dont know where you got that info from? the 6300 is comparable to an i3, which at stock is faster than an OC'd 3258 across majority of apps and games.

When overclocked FX6300 is WAYY better. It's 6 cores with games that will utilize that in the future. Plus, it's better for video streaming and everything else besides gaming. (it's also good for games) So g3258 s$%^& itself.

Well no s&^% it's a terrible pc, what do you expect from a $200 pc? It's not going to be the greatest pc so of course it's going to such but at least you can still play minecraft on it and a few other games

Well, I know it's not a full out "gaming pc" but it can play old games, Minecraft, and Garry's mod, so it's in the vary low range of gaming but it could still be considered as a "gaming pc".

Ps: the graphics are "intergrated" not "dedicated"

You just built a pc my step dad would have used in his real estate office. And yes, he did watch the occasional YouTube video. Sorry, its not a gaming pc by any means.
