4 cores CPU & 8 GB ram vs 6 core CPU & 4 GB ram

[screappy]

I really need to chose between:
fx 6300 with 4 bg ram
athlon II x4 760k with 8 gb ram

fx 6300 with 4 gb ram. Why not Intel?

 

[screappy]

intel 10 times more expensive for 5 fps difference which no one would ever notice

 

[screappy]

So I can go for the fx 6300 but Isn't that making the 6 cores useless? i mean 6 cores with 4 gbs?I think it makes the cores useless

Get an Intel Pentium G3258.

Stick with getting the 6300, you still have the option to get more ram. I would recommend 8GB, but if you dont have enough $ then it can wait.

Your comment about the 5 fps difference is pretty much what i say for most people asking whether to get Intel or AMD, it isnt really noticeable unless you do benchmarks.

What GPU are you getting with these?

 

[screappy]

Well that's another thing,if i go with the 760k i'll go for gtx 750 ti if i go for the 6300 i'll go with the gtx 750 non ti

and the MAIN thing that stops me from the fx 6300 is that i just ordered m5a78l-m/usb3 which DOES support fx 6300 but in newer bios version and this is going to be a problem for me since i can't update bios at all with this cpu

you can update a bio with out a cpu. but i would go with the fx 6300. i have a fx 8320 and it works wonderfully. i build pc for a part time job along with some IT work. the PC should boot even if cpu is not supported(aslong as it is the correct socket). but back to the CPU the "extra" 2 cores have a good advantage over the x4

 

[screappy]

It is the right socket but I am afraid that it won't boot.I have read soo much threads and things about people not being able to run the PC,having black screen and having to put cpu that is supported so they can update the bios and put the cpu they wanted..

 

[pearcenc]

i just spent sometime looking up your mobo. you SHOULD be good, but nothing is 100%. if the mobo supports am3+(which it does) it should at the very least do a full boot, since there are no other cpus that use the am3+ socket

 

[screappy]

I don't want to risk..since everything i see on internet is negative lol the hell..I'll go for the fm2a78-hd+ ; athlon x4 760k ; gtx 750 TI ; corsair 430w and 8GB ram and this will be like 50 euros cheaper (Which is alot in my country economy)
