Intel Core i5 4460 Quad Core OR AMD FX-8350 8 core?

Which one is better for gaming?

The FX-8350 would be better against the 4460. However, I wouldn't recommend getting it - instead I suggest the AMD FX-8320. It is the SAME CPU as the 8350 just lower clock speed, but a huge price difference. You can always overclock the 8320 if needed and its always good to save a little if you are bothered about the budget!

Therefore, I recommend the 8320 against the 4460.

How about a i5 4690K? would that beat it?

Yeah amd 8320 is better than intel 4460

 

[tambeshakunt]

4690k would beat it, when gaming... Especially if you overclock.

The i5 4460.

Just know that overclocking the i5 may or not increase your fps. If it does, you're looking at a couple of fps gain.

That's why I would go for the locked i5, unless you're interested in overclocking as a hobby.
