Not into gaming

[Mykdejesus]

Will you consider FX 6300 over i5 4440?

Programs mostly run by this PC are internet browsers, ms office, chat, disk caching / file sharing.

Will these programs run faster on i5 4440 or FX 6300?

Yes, i5-4440 wins.

I like how you say not into gaming and the tags recognize this as a gaming thread.

 

[Mykdejesus]

I see. So i5 4440 will win in all aspects against FX 6300?

Here's a good comparison.

It is obvious the i5-4440 is better in most aspect.

Really for what the OP plans on doing wouldn't the i3-4330 suffice? Pretty basic tasks. It's not a weak CPU by any means especially if you're not gaming.

The i3 4130 is what I would go with.

I guess it would be better to get a 4 core processor nowadays. Am I correct?

Im experiencing 100% load on cpu during dvd burning or even extracting / installing huge programs like games

Currently using 4gb ram DDR2-800, Intel Dual Core 2.5ghz, Palit GT430 1gb gpu

Sure the i5 4440 would be better, but the i3 4130 is no slouch. It's WAAAAAAAAAY faster than your current dual core. It has hyperthreading too which helps out a lot with everyday tasks. My best advice is get an i3 and an ssd to install windows on. Your PC will be very fast.

i3 4130 is same price as FX 6300 with 6 cores.

Does than mean i3 4130 is better than FX 6300 since you recommend it?

Oh yes, the current gen i3 processors are little speed demons for what they are. Relative had me build them a new computer with an i3-4340 and man is it fast for how much it cost.

There is no point in buying the FX-6300 for what you need really. The i3 while it is only dual core has stronger cores and supports hyperthreading which is a nice bonus.

Also, Intel HD Graphics 4600 aren't half bad if you don't need a beast of a graphics card. Heck, I'm using them primarily while I wait for my new Graphics Card and I'm not having any issues.

If you can afford an i5 then by all means.


What is your budget anyway?
