Fx 6300 or i3 4130

[setanjan123]

People are of the opinion that 6 cores are future proof as the games in future will utilise the extra cores, I've hearing this argument since the days of Phenom X6 processors, to be honest by the time games are optimised for more cores you'll have to upgrade

Well battlefield 4 already utilizes 8 cores. And since the next gen consoles are out......

It's Multi core support is far from optimized from what I've heard in forums.

I'm not against buying 6/8 core CPUs, just that I'd rather give lesser importance to it that it is advertised.

FYI I'd recommend FX6300 over i3 4130. But The i5 is a better buy compared to its FX counterparts just for the power it gives in its individual cores.

+1 to the above. So here goes the choice for now : core i5 > FX 6300 > core i3. BTW, closing the thread for now.
