Im building a budget gamer for a friend and i want to know which you guys think is better, the Phenom II x4 965, or the FX-4100? Everything else is already figured out, but i cant decide which one will be better for gaming Thanks, jkjkjk182
Even better- Get an intel sandy bridge i5 (anything from 750 series up is better than both of those 2 GPUs) Oh, and cost about $75 on Ebay for a sandy bridge i5 750 right now
lol $75 is cheaper than 119.99 EDIT: I gave you the price for a 2400, which is about 50% faster, in the post you quoted. soz.
Please ignore the intel fanboys, You'd want to go for an FX-4100, It runs on a smaller architecture then the Phenom II's so is clocked higher and runs cooler with higher less TDP
Im going to go FX, thanks for all the help! If the budget was $200 more, i would consider intel, but its just not an option for a budget build.
