Is the Fx 6100 a good CPU? I am getting $570 when I move to Maui in a couple of weeks and I want to build my first gaming Pc. The reason I picked the FX 6100 is because it is a 6 core cpu and 3.9 turbo and it only costs $110 on tigerdirect. So can the CPU play BF3, and ARMA 2 OA?

no

a Phenom II 965 is better

If you going to go AMD FX you got to go FX6300(4300 or 8320), the preformance in the 6100 isnt even up to par with their last generation.

Then should I get a 6300 instead? I know it beats the 965.

The AMD FX6300 beats the 965.
