Confused about this cpu

[Frost521]

I saw this 'Amd fx 6100 6 core processor @3.9 ghz' and i was unsure about whether it was 6 different cores at 3.9ghz each or 6 different cores adding up to 3.9ghz. Could anyone tell me which one it is please?

That is the turbo frequency for 3 cores or less

That means 6 Individual cores ALL clocked at 3.9GHz.

You don't want that CPU. The FX-6300 would be a much better choice. The FX-6100 is a "Bulldozer" chip, found to be a general disappointment; the FX-6300 is a "Piledriver," and offers significant improvement. Both of these CPUs have three "modules," each consisting of a pair of integer cores and a single floating point unit. Windows sees it as six cores, although resources are shared. On a budget, it isn't a bad chip, but if it's in your budget, an Intel i5 (Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, or Haswell) is a better performer.

amd fx 6100 6 core processor @3.9 ghz
16gb ddr3
1.5tb hdd
usb 3.0
hd7750 2gb msi graphics card

That is the entire system. How much do you think it could be sold for?

I'd say $300-$400, depending on the quality of the PSU, and whether the HD7750 is a "real" one, or one of the abominations with DDR3 on it.
A particularly knowledgeable builder would either simply not buy it, or might offer $250.
