Hey guys, I wanted to know which processor out of these 3 is best for gaming (without needing to overclock.)
i5 4670K
FX 8320
or FX 8350
Thanks!
 
Solution

i5 4670K

You shouldn't even consider an FX8xxx cpu UNLESS you plan to overclock. That's where their value lies. I've got mine running stable at 4.8ghz now and its very easy to do with the right motherboard and cooling.


Both the stock and OCed core i5 2500k top over stock fx8350. Stock i5 2500k has lower min frame rate which will definitely be handled by i5 4670. Since the OP clearly says he doesnt wants to overclock and you cant get a fx8350 without little OCing to match the levels of i5 4670 then I think i5 4670 will be better choice. The price diff btw fx8350 and i5 4670 is fairly justified if you take into account iGPU of i5 ( though not much still it is something helpful when you dont have a graphic card for some reason)

I'm fine if you're a Intel fan boy. I accept it, however i don't like biased reviews from toms hardware. It doesn't at all say OC FX8350. the intel I5 4670k and 2500k are great CPU's I would of bought it if i had the money, but like the shop store said where i bought some of the stuff, they don't sell amd CPU's, because they're cheap.

Lets stop arguing and close the thread :)

Man stop with "intel fanboy" thing. I am not posting any biased opinions. If you dont like it you can simply ignore it. Again to the question of OP if you are not OCing and to choose btw 4670 & 8350/8320 , 4670 will be better choice.

And i myself have AMD Sapphire R9 270x Vapor-x and i love it for its price/performance value.
 


this is true, save some money, get an i5 4670, non k version since you wont be overclocking. An FX 8320 or 8350 would need a bit of overclocking (to 4.0Ghz at least) to match that i5 4670. And a bit of OC means a 30$ Hyper 212 to go with it, and by then youre already priced really close to the i5 4670.

I saw the i5 4670K on amazon a little while back for 189.99 something like that. now thats a kicka$$ deal.
