hi i am going to be build a gaming pc and i need help
Which build is better i3-4160 (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ThpLXL) or the fx 6300 (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sameer25/saved/bxqypg)
which processor (i3-4160 or Fx 6300) would be better in games like call of duty Advanced warfare, Black ops ii, counter strike go, Battlefield ( mostly COD )and other stuff like daily use, web browsing, video editing. i am on a budget and can't go over $500 ( maybe $20 more ). Can any one tell me what motherboard to pair with them and the motherboard and the processor cant be More than$140 - 150. if I use the fx 6300 i can use the r9 280 but if I use the i3-4160 I have to stick with a r9 270x and I could also use the i3 4150 but which one would be a better choice. i looked up both the benchmarks and the fx 6300 has a better score than the i3-4160 (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-4160+%40+3.60GHz
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+FX-6300+Six-Core) and I would over clock the fx 6300 but only with the stock cooler
