Hello everyone.I'm just curious i got 2 sets of combinations to use.
Intel mobo 1155 with i3-2100 cpu/4 gb ram/gtx 1050 ti and corsair 550w psu
and
Asus am3+ mobo with fx 6300.
Wich 1 should i use?Ive heard ppl talking how i3 beats ANY amd fx cpu's,is that truth or what?
I'm mainly focused on light-ish gaming such as csgo/valorant but maybe also cod warzone since il get 8 gb kit in few days aswell.
So i need help betwen 1155 mobo with i3-2100 and am3+ with fx-6300.
 
Solution
I3 -2100 is a 2 core 4 threads cpu while the fx 6300 is a 6 core - 6 threads. In my personal opinion Fx-6300 is a no brainer even if i3-2100 has more fps in some games u will try to alt tab and ur pc will feel slow as hell and is kinda dissapointing in 2020 to have everything closed to play a game and to be afraid to alt tab. Since i dont own rather of those 2 cpus i can link u to some videos that probably help u with ur choice i3-2100 benchmarks and Fx-6300 benchmarks . According to bottleneck calculator i3-2100 has Average bottleneck percentage: 32.76%
while fx-6300 has Average bottleneck percentage: 4.75% (https://pc-builds.com/calculator/) Hope i gave u some insight mate :)

THanks alot brother.I need to test am3+ motherboard today if its working fine i guess il stick to that 1 and sell my 1155 mobo with i3 to upgrade my ram to 8 gigs considering 4 gb is waaaay too slow imposible to play games such as csgo or valorant while talking on discord with my mates.
