AMD FX 4300 with AMD 7770 HD or Intel Pentium G3258 with AMD 7770 HD

[pradeep1987]

Hello guys

Please give me brief answer about which one to buy? AMD FX 4300 with AMD 7770 HD or Intel Pentium G3258 with AMD 7770 HD. I don't have more money right now, so don't tell me to buy any costly processor or graphics card. Even fx 6300 is not possible right now. so tell me between these two for gaming with todays games like gta 5, Assasins creed Unity, Just Cause 3, Battlefield and more coming games.

unless you plan to play dragonage inquisition, the best combo would be the intel g3258/7770.

The FX 4300 will probably perform slightly worse, specially if you overclock both CPU's. However, many games are coming out that simply do not support dual-core CPU's like the G3258 anymore. For that reason alone I'd go with the FX-4300, although really I'd personally just wait to save a tad more to get an FX-6300 or an i3.

If you get any of them you will regret it. Save up for a fx-6300.

Amd fx 4300 and Fx 6300, will there be a big difference in performance other than 2 cores more? I am in very low budget, so i can use this money for other components rather buying big processors. please tell me.

I like g3258 in all aspects but nowadays dual core is getting out of date for modern games. So i have no choice in that price range other than amd fx 4300 in India. Amd Fx 6300 is 6 cores and any games using 6 cores right now?

Not only Dragon age , The cpu which i am buying should work with future games. Dual Cores are outdated nowadays for modern gaming.

Not a huge difference, specially if you look it up on benchmarks, since they are very similar processors except for the two extra cores. Those extra cores do make a difference, though, because the computer likes to have all those background processes running at the same time as your games. The extra 2 cores are definitely useful then. And there are a few games that do use more than 4 cores, and with DX12 and Mantle we should be seeing even more multi-core usage in the near future.

In the end, if money is really tight and you need a PC now, the 4300 is probably the better choice. But I would definitely prefer to hold off, try to save up the difference (which shouldn't be that big, really), and get a 6300.

Ok shall i drop the G3258 processor and think about Fx 4300 or 6300? Is that good idea?

Ok so buying Pentium G3258 is bad for upcoming games right?

It'll probably last for a bit longer, but since games are coming out now that don't support dual-core at all, it's a pretty risky gamble. Even if you do get it, you probably wouldn't save anything over getting a 4300, so for the same price but with the guarantee that games will still run on it, I'd get the 4300.

Save up for a Haswell i3, it surpasses the whole FX Vishera family (even the 8350) in games and HT essentially makes it work like a quad-core.
