Hey this is my first post and I am looking for some insight into what processor I should get for my new pc I am building. I am on a budget and am trying to keep it around 800$ With this budget I am probably going to stick with AMD considering from what I have seen they are cheaper for what you get. But if there is an Intel out there with better bang for my buck, please share!
I want my pc to be able to run modern games like Guild Wars 2, Crisis 2, Arma 2/3, etc.
I want to choose between one of these 4 processors
AMD FX-4100 CPU (4x 3.60GHz/4MB L2 Cache)
AMD FX-6100 CPU (6x 3.30GHz/6MB L2 Cache)
AMD FX-8120 CPU (8x 3.10GHz/8MB L2 Cache)
AMD FX-8150 CPU (8x 3.60GHz/8MB L2 Cache)
I have been told that the 4100 has multithreading and that is good, but not supported by all games. I was also told that most of the time I won't even use the 8 cores if I get a 8000 series. So would my best choice be a 6100?
Since this is the CPU section, I won't go in depth into my video card choice but I think I am going to get the AMD Radeon HD 7770 - 1GB and my mother board will most likely be the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 -- AMD 970 with 4 GB [2 GB X2] DDR3-1600 RAM .
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
