But i never understood this.
Fx-6300 6 cores
Pentium 2 cores

Wouldnt 6 cores be way more efficient for gaming?

 

[badboyrog2]

for gaming not
anyway in the futur you can upgrade the cpu ...because the build i did for you is futur proof
and do not take everything like a cash... you can not compare intel cores with amd cores not the same architecture at all

Wait what?
Your saying that less cores with Intel and more cores with amd is better for gaming?
How much do cores matter in gaming or are more cores usually meant streaming and such

 

[badboyrog2]

the number of core is more important in multitasking
and i never said less cores is better
it depend what you going to do with your pc...gaming or cfd/multitasking

i said less cores for intel
because intel makes the best cores vs amd

I will multitask a little bit while gaming

 

[badboyrog2]

you have two solutions
1 = fx 8320
2 = i5 4690k
but you need to invest more money
i prefer intel , because you have a lot better motherboard going with it and more futur proof
is up to you
