I7 920 vs FX6300

[Stickmansam]

Looking for a CPU to run Adobe after effects and premiere pro. Which one would be better? I can get a used i7 920 for $90 and a new FX6300 for about $120

I have an X58 board but it's not good for overclocking. (Zotac X58)

As long as you can get the 920 into the mid 3Ghz range, it should equal a 6300.

Since you have a board, it would be a lot cheaper.

This is a good comparison, I would take the AMD 8350. You want to upgrade not sidegrade. gl
