What motherboard are you using or plan on buying?

 

[N640GT]

for my Budget Build, I already got the 78LMT AM3+ Socket

With that board i would stick to the 6300.
That board doesn't have a good enough power delivery system (VRM) to handle the 8350.

Okay, well the 6300 is around my price range! Do you think that will hold me over with streaming? I can in the feature always upgrade to that Version! do you think the 6300 would hold me over with streaming and such?

The 6300 might hold you back a bit, it would depend on what res and settings you plan on playing/streaming at.

The 8350 would be a better choice for streaming but that would require a better motherboard.

I agree with him here your board will not handle a FX 8350. Trust me I understand being on a tight budget. If some how you could scrap up around $300 I'd go with a good 970 board and the FX 8350. But all is not lost you could go with a FX-8320E which has the same TDP as the 6300 so the VRM would be fine if your on that tight of a budget.

Stick with the 6300 , a decent $20 cooler like the raijintek aidos, & a 4ghz base overclock which is easily doable on that board.

You'll be very close to 8350 performance levels then irregardless of the loss of 2 threads.

8320e would be pointless as you'll be stuck at stock clocks.

On that board the 6300 will perform better once overclocked even slightly.

@madmatt30, Okay I'll go with the 6300 i've heard good reviews on that CPU!
