So well my upgrade options have been slightly limited due to my tablet which I use for note taking in college thinking now is the time for its charging port to go full retard, so this black friday I plan on buying a asus memo pad hd 7 and selling my malfunctioning toshiba excite go a little later on ebay. Anyways amazon has a amd fx 6300 on sale for only 80 bucks which is just a steal. Currently I am gaming on a core 2 quad q 8200 and a 550 ti which for the games I play has been fine but now is time to upgrade it is way over do actually planed on upgrading when Igot the 550ti but things never worked out. If I get the fx6300 I can also get a nvidia 760-770 or the amd equivalent if not I will have to wait till long after black friday to get a new gpu because I will then just go with a i5. Plus I need everything to build a new system except for a psu and cd drive. I am using a few months old corsair builder series cx600 since my old psu died. I am just worried that a amd fx 6300 will only give me a few months of use before it becomes a bottle neck especially since it has equal performance to a i3. There is really a chance I may not be able to get a i5 system either because along with my tablet going I live in Buffalo Newyork and this blizzard we have been having has prevented me from going to work and getting payed.
Let me tell you with my stock clocked 2500k, my GTX 760 SuperClocked (runs at 1.2GHz) is still the bottleneck. I doubt the FX-6300 will be a major bottleneck anytime soon, especially if you pursue overclocking.
Get it. Tis a great deal
Yeah its a good deal for $80. Or if you wanna go a little bigger, the 8350 & 8350e are only $120 on newegg right now
