or you can replace the FX4100 with a Phenom II 960T, adding 700/- if looking to overclock

^^No to fx4100 especially for gaming.
Investing in fx4100 is simply not justified when much better processors are available at that price range.
 
Well, he said no overclocking, and Phenom processors are at par performance with them while in base configuration, at least that is what I believe. Haven't had much experience with them tbh.

@hsr
buddy if you think that fx4100 cant be overclocked then you are wrong.
But fx4100 performs poorly.Check some reviews.It cant even compete with its phenom predecessors and gaming performance is even worse.It simply is not an option when better processors like i3 2100 and phenom 960t are available at that price range.

if you able to add i5 2320 or i5 2500 in build it will be more better

lol no, I didn't mean you to take it in that way, I said Phenom processors are better at overclocked speeds, and especially when the extra cores are enabled.
