I am only asking this because i have never seen a six core processor before and it is the same price so what is going on?

There is even FX 8350 Vishera there which retails for around $190.

Its an 8 core CPU and has an unlocked multiplier.

Out of these two CPUs, I would go for FX 6300 as Zambezi CPUs are not that good when compared to Piledriver CPUs.
FX 6300 definitely. Its a good gaming CPU for budget gamers.

However keep in mind that an i5 4670K (Quad Core) can easily trump it.

Definitely #1. Even if the FX-6300 is a Quad-Core CPU, I would choose it over the Bulldozer CPU.

I am sorry but I think that you are mistaken about it. That is a Six Core Piledriver CPU (Hence the Series Number).

You have FX 4300 Vishera as a quad core alternative though.

He was saying that even if the FX 6300 was a quad core, it would still be better than the FX 4170.

Ok so guad or six core?

 

[luckiest charm]

Oh that is fine then.

I would prefer a six cored CPU over a quad core since it combines the qualities of both quad core and 8 core CPU. Kind of middle ground with decent per core performance and good enough number of cores for almost all games.

Get the FX6300, you won't be disappointed...it will be good for gaming.

As stated multiple times, the FX-6300 is the better choice.
