I'm trying to make a lil gaming rig, nothing fancy just something that will handle today's games, I'm looking at these 3 cpus and i wanted to know opinions on which is best, why and if theres another i should consider. AMD Athlon II X4 631 AMD A6-3650 AMD FX 4100 Keep in mind that the max is 120$ and i want the best bang for the gaming buck.Thanks ahead of time
Unless you're planning a motherboard change, none of the above as none of them will work with your current board. You have an AM2+ board and listed two socket FM1 and one AM3+ CPU's, none of which are compatible with your M4A785-M. That said another vote for the x4 955.
Phenom II X4 960T is only $110 at newegg and amazon. Chance to unlock to 6 core if mobo supports unlocking.
Thanks for the input all, i went the entirely other direction and got a i3-2100 with a motherboard that could be upgraded at a later date :smile:
MSI MB-Z68MA45 Intel Core i3-2100 Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 GAMMA Classic Series ATX Mid Tower got it all off amazon :nerd:
