AMD FX 4350 - Good or Bad?

[lozstafar]

First of all i would like to say that i don't have a clue about anything to do with computers. i am switching over to pc and i am building one for gaming. i read an article briefly explaining each componenet and what to look out for but i am unsure on the cpu i have chosen.
with a clock speed of 4.2GHz and a quad core i thought it is a good processor for the price i am paying (£98 from CCL). i couldn't find any reviews about the processor meaning that i don't know anything about it.
If anyone could tell me anything about this cpu or about its specs it would be appreciated. also if you know any better alternatives around the same price ( willing to spend up to £150 if necessary) i would be thankful

It is an higher clocked FX-4300. Not to bad for the price but I suggest trying to get the FX-6300 if you are going to stick with AMD.

is losing clock speed worth more cores?

clock speed is more important. you could probably hit 5ghz with a good cooler

You shouldn't have any problem overclocking with an aftermarket cooler.

Excellent cpu for gaming. Mine is paired with a hd 7950. I can play any game maxed. Sometimes u may turn down view distance to increase fps but for shooters to mmos is great
