show me something that proves you're right in games, believe me i'm trying to look and all i can find is what i'm saying, 6300 = 8530 in almost all games

If you can educate me, believe me, i'll enjoy it, but at the moment, those extra 2 cores are useless in a machine thats primary job is to game



power supply cant handle this :/

550W 80+ PSU will surely handle a stock i5 Haswell CPU + one R9 280 card.

my bad, didn't load all the way ^^

you're good to go

I had some long and technical response, but read up on the FX-8320e, and figure out why WWI recommended it and why I support going this route.

And remember this: I never disagreed about the performance of the FX-6300 in gaming.


Because the FX-4100 is a piece of shit. I'd take the 860k over it any day.

I'd love to hear it, my argument is based on single core performance and the fact that 6300 already has six. meaning in a gaming machine, much better performance.
and in my research, i found that fx-6300 has better single core....

If Dx12 does a great job or he's using it for more than just gaming, i'll agree, but untill then, 6300 > imo $45 could go in better areas

agreed on the 4100 comment btw, thing is bad :/

I'm sure you would, but read up on the FX-8320e. While you're at it, find out the next upgrade from the FX-6300.

thanks guys, ill read through everything later at night. just got back home
