Yeah but that is the top of the line amd chip atm? they do OC like a beas tthough haha, I guess it depends on how much the OP want's to spend.
ok sorry i know what the best one is i guess i mean the best bang for the buck. it will be used mostly for wow but want to not have to upgrade for a while. again thanks for the help. thinking am3+ and ddr3 ram is a good start.
 


Depends on the app. If it can use all cores, eight core chips are going to be 33% faster. If you are only using 1-6 cores, then they are the same. 6300 is just a 6 core 8320.

Best bang for the buck in my opinion would be the 8320. It's most likely going to overclock to the same as an 8350 would, and even stock they have almost the same turbo boost.

Okay i have looked around a bit and have read a lot of posts here and a few other places for hours and think a phenom x4 955 3200 should work for wow for a while and my board will support the new am3+ so i can upgrade later to the better processors. thanks again for the help and i am now hooked.
 

Alright sounds good ^_^, good luck with your Purchase.
