I'd like to know which AMD cpu is the same in power with Intel core i5 4460 200euros.
My options are;
fx 6300 115euros
fx 6350 140euros
fx 8320 167euros

Keep in mind I don't have problem to OC.

The FX6 series have three computing modules, the FX 8 series have four computing modules. For gaming, an overclocked FX 6 is about the same as an equivalent FX 8 at the same clock speed because all of the modules are not being used.

In your cost analysis, you must consider more than just the CPU.

These are German prices.

This is what it takes to run an i5 4460

If gaming is the main concern then none of them are realistically the i5's equal. A moderately overclocked 8320 can come close in some respects, but falls short more often than not while both running hotter and requiring more wattage. If streaming or some editing were the main objective, the 8320 while overclocked would be a humble champion per it's price point. Though money could and should be better spent elsewhere

That depends on what your doing. For gaming the i5 will perform better in the majority of titles, video editing and rendering the 8320 would be a better choice due to the fact those tasks will actually use the 8 cores on the amd cpu. In gaming you want single core performance which is were AMD trails behind intel.

skip over the FX line they don't preform as well and Intel in gaming. If budget is a concern then hit up ebay and buy a used 3570K it will out perform any AMD and you can get it around 160-170 usd. Even an older Sandy Bride I72600k will crush an FX you can get them for around 130usd or less

Thanks for info, but no one has mentioned the 6300 or 6350 so far.. Are they worse than the 8320?

Yes they are budget processors

For an overclocked FX 6

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (€99.90 @ Caseking)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (€36.49 @ Amazon Deutschland)

and I would want about 50W more on my PSU.

For an overclocked FX 8

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor (€139.90 @ Caseking)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (€36.49 @ Amazon Deutschland)

and now you need 50W more on your PSU.

For gaming, the 4460 will be equal to or superior to both AMD systems due to its more powerful cores, even if the AMD modules are substantially overclocked to much higher clock frequencies.

It's very helpful but unfortunately I can't buy from ebay or from other countries, because a problem with my country's banks.
I think I'll go with 4460. AMD has nice MOBOs, they are better and work better for me.
