Which CPU?

joetoad · 2013-03-11 19:07:12

Hi guys, building a budget gaming for my cousin and was wondering which one of these CPU's would you recommend AMD - FX 4170 or i3 3220 I'm thinking that the AMD one is the better CPU as more games or utilizing more cores and will do more so when the PS3 is released this year?

Go for the fx6300. The 3220 would be better than the FX4170.

Yes I would agree, and plus you can OC if you want too for more power
