Alternative from AMD FX-8150 with combo

[Shinzo234]

Is there a better cpu than AMD FX-8150 under $200?

 

[skitz9417]

yes amd phemon x4 965

gaming wise, phenom x4's that are high overclocked. FX wise, you have to wait until october for Piledriver FX, though I wouldn't know the starting price on them.

 

[Shinzo234]

for what purpose gaming or multi-tasking.?

Either..
im guessing AMD FX-8150 is better for multi-tasking and phenom x4 is for gaming

but will Piledriver FX beat phenom x4 for gaming?

any other thoughts?
