Hi guys,
I need your help to decide a CPU for my first build. I have three options: AMD FX-6300 OC, FX-8320 and i5-4440.
My final budget is around 550 euros (I live in Spain), and I will use it for gaming, general use (Internet with lot of windows, movies ) and some Photoshop. My GPU would be a R9 270 and overclocking is not a priority.
Option 1 (for OC)
-AMD FX-6300
-Asus M5A97 R2.0
-Cheap Cooler (not decided yet)
Total: 180-190 euros.
Option 2
-AMD FX-8320
-Asrock 970 Pro3
Total: 180 euros
In this case I wouldnt OC, because for the price of a better mobo and a cooler I prefer go with option 3. Also I dont know if I should put a cooler even whithout OC, because I have read that the stock one ir very bad.
Option 3
-Intel Core i5-4440 (or any i5, but I have found a good deal for the 4440)
-Asrock B85M Pro4
Total: 208 euros
This would be the more expensive option, but also needs less power, so in a few years it maybe worth it.
Thanks for your help!
