i agree for gaming generally ateast the 6300/8320/50 or an i5 etc.

 

[gibbzy]

so i should get a 6300 thx btw does it matter after really after getting more then 4 cores eg bf4 recommends 4
oh yea is it worth the money

The FX 4130 is a good processor and performs pretty well gaming wise from what I know, but if you're looking for the best gaming performance i5 or what WaSquids suggested a 6300 or 8320 would be a better choice over the FX 4120 and i3, if you're looking for pure gaming performance than in most cases the i3 performs just under the FX 4130.

The 6300 is def best bang for buck atm (£85? or close to$100?- in uk) 6 cores will help... check out bf4 cpu b/marks. I would say min 6300, then a 8320, or an i5(k version) Motherboards important to read if* you're oc'in (6+2 phases+ etc) Hope it helps. (i3 not great for bf4- dual core)

Yeah I agree, this processor is clearly the best bang for buck at its price range, and is only around £20 more expensive that the FX 4300, and yes there is a point getting more than a quad core as newer generation games are now starting to support more cores and hyperthreading!
