You must also consider that the FX can be OCed much further (over 3.5 with morer exotic cooling). For basic gaming, a 3200+ (even at stock) would be fine.
actually it is quite large, (thank you for noticing).
and not rich per se. (just well off atm.)
edit: and i am not gonna be cool...damn.........
😛
with the strain silicon in FX-55 and a vapochill, some people can get their FX-55 up to 3.5GHz (unlock mutiplier comes in handy)
and... also.. O/C is not guaranteed. 3200+ is afterall, tested to run stable at 3200+ speed.
People with 3200+ aims for FX-55 speed, and they think they've got same performance for a lot less. However, they keep forget that FX-55 owner are aiming for FX-59 speed.
Edit: Just saw this FX-55 @ 4GHz post:

If the 3200+ is "that" good, why didn't this guy pick the 3000+/3200+/3500+ for his project.
