Amd Athlon x4 760k VS i3-4130

Which of these processors would be better in a Mini-ITX build with a 650 Ti BOOST? Are they even comparable? I will be mostly gaming.

i would say its the athlon x4 760k but ONLY if you overclock otherwise i would definitly go with the core i3 4310 link to cpubos http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i3-4130-vs-AMD-Athlon-X4-760K

Why do you say that? Its worse in every category. Is it because its A) unlocked and B) cheaper?

yes exactly becuase its extremly close at stock but its suposidly is easy to take it 4ghz+ at which point it woud be noticibly better however it would also consume significantly more power
