i3 6100 or fx6300??

[Sankalp_1]

Im building a gaming pc and confused between two processors i3 6100 and fx 6300
i will be paring it up with gtx 750ti. Im working with a tight budget of 30k INR. Going with i3 exceeds my budget by 2-3k is it worth the extra money?? i will be using it primarily for hardcore gaming @1366*768 which cpu should i get?
ram-8gb corsair vengence, i already have 500gb hdd i will not upgrade the system for 3 years atleast.

The i3 is going to give you overall better performance and has a clear path to upgrade in the future. The FX is not something I would even consider buying.

I would try to save up for an i5 6400 just so you have a quad core. 6300 is below average, just as many AMD CPUs are. i3 is dual core, but still decent. But just to ensure that you will have a long lasting CPU that can run current and upcoming games, I would save a tad bit up for the i5 6400.

i am using the i3 4160 and 750 ti 8gb of ram and it rarely stuggles with games in 1080p so it will wreck a monitor at 1366 768

most of my games are at medium settings and stay at a constant above 45 fps constant

the i3 6100 should be alot quicker then my i3

Until Zen is released and thoroughly beat up by OC, Intel is the smarter option. That i3 will definitely hold its own, has hyperthreading so is recognised as 4 thread cpu and will suffer slight OC by BCLK.
