FX-6300 vs Intel i3-3220

I'm doing gaming on a 1080p monitor... GPU will be a HD 7850. Playing stuff like crysis, bf3, far cry 2 and 3, etc etc would like to max out games and get no less than 30 fps. Which CPU will be better for me?

Definitely fx-6300 for those games, they are more multi-threaded. I will see if I can find some benchmarks

Th' FX 6300 be a better deal. It be also more future proof. th' I3 may get a couple more frames in a few games but th' th' FX be a much better deal. Especially when games start usin' more cores since th' new consoles have eight. So if I were ye I would definitely get th' FX 6300.

my fx4100 destorys i3, now imagine how much fx6300 destroys i3. . . . Especially in streaming games.

A 6300 Is much closer to an i5 than it is to an i3 in my eyes. 6300>i3-3220

FX6300 is close to i5, and in game battlefield 3 its a draw between the FX6100 and I7-3770k

The FX6300 will preform better then the FX6100, so its a good thing to buy.

i dont say the FX6300 will preform as good as an i7 but, in battlefield 3 i saw a draw between those 2 cpus .

but the FX6300 is close to an i5  thats for sure.

 eaven the FX4300 will kill the i3 in everyway :D

fx 4300 won't really kill an I3,but overclocked fx 4300 will definetlly beat the i3-3220

fx 6300 even in stock beats the i3 3220.

The fx 6300 si somewhere in the middle between i3-3220 and i5 3570

Thanks guys! Now what about the FX-4170? I saw that thing had great reviews. How would it compare?

fx 4170 is weaker than 4300,it's the best BULLDOZER 1 gen cpu,but 4300 beats it quite a bit.

If you are looking for real i5 performance, the 6300 or 8350 is the way to go, the i7 is not beaten by any FX CPU... apart from 1 or 2 apps...
