Which is a better? A 6Core 2700ghz or a 4Core 4200 ghz?

Just wondering if it would be worth upgrading from my 6 core 2700ghz core or not to this 4 core 4200ghz, Would their be much of a difference in performance?

Ghz* I mean lol

what 2 cpu's are they? there's more than just speed that goes into what cpu is better. I assume its phenom II x6 and a fx 4300. in that case get the fx 6300 since its the same price. but thats just me assuming its a phenom II x6 and a fx 4300. you probably dont need the upgrade anways though

Yes what specific models are you talking about? One has to be a Phenom II x6 1045t, but what is the other? FX 4170? FX 4350?

FX 43xx >>> Phenom II x6 >>> FX 41xx

Yh I have the Phenom 2 x6, this is the one I was looking at AMD FX-4350 Vishera 4.2GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor FD4350FRHKBOX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113326

That FX 4350 is fine, but you can get the FX 6300 for cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286

Or this for $139 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113285

Oh dam an eight Core o.o Do you think I will see a bigger performance in the 3.5Ghz? Does the amount of cores make a difference? I just don't know wut to get yet but I need something that can process a lot for my games. I just bought the r9 280x 3gb & was told my processor is bottle necking my pc a bit, I see a huge difference in graphics but in some games like minecraft I can tell my processor isn't doing well.

If you can afford the $139 8 core, get it. If not, get the $109 FX 6300 6 core. Either would be a good upgrade.
