Is FX-6300 still worth it?

[TheTechSide]

Hi,
I want to know that is the AMD fx-6300 still good for gaming.
I am going to buy a GTX 750 ti. I want to know that is it better than i3 because here in India, the Intel CPU'S are very expensive, so fx6300 is the only choice I got.
Also, the motherboards of intel sockets are fairly expensive than the AMD one's

Here's my build :-

1. FX 6300
2. Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P Motherboard
3. MSI GTX 750TI
4. Kingston fury 1866Mhz Blue 8GB
5. WD Blue 1TB
6.Corsair CX430
7. Asus Optical Drive
8. Circle CC 820

Thanks for the help in advance

Compare this to the prices of the AMD cpu, board and memory.

Intel Core i3-6100 6th Gen LGA 1151 Processor - Rs.9170
MSI H110M PRO - Rs.4735
Kingston Technology HyperX FURY Black 8 GB 2133 MHz CL14 - Rs.2975

TOTAL= Rs.16880

The AMD build is 1000 Rupees expensive but is the intel motherboard good? Can you suggest a more expensive one.

Should you go with the AMD system I wouldn't worry too much. You will be GPU bound with the GTX 750 Ti in almost any gaming scenario whether you have an i3 or FX processor (in other words there performance won't vary much between the two).

The H110 board is good quality but does not have lots of features. You could use a B150 board-

Avoid the AMD. It's a dead platform with nowhere to go. The Intel can be easily upgraded in the future.

How about this - http://www.amazon.in/Gigabyte-H110M-DS2-DDR4-Generation-MotherBoard/dp/B018UF1S66/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1462169669&sr=1-2&keywords=gigabyte+gah110

If your on a budget the amd is fine, like the person above said the 750ti will be the biggest problem. A amd 6300 can easily handle a gtx 980 without bottleneck. My friend uses a 6300 and it handles any game he throws at it

You will want a bigger psu, it will help further down the line with upgrades...

You can use any H110 board you want that supports DDR4 memory. I like Asus boards the best and have always used them so I recommend them when I can.
