its not at all good as i5 better get FX 6300 and OC it.
Your motherboard is also problem atleast have to flash latest bios but not sure will it work.

FX 6300 ~ 7.3k
Asus m5A97 r2.0 - 6k
^^ best if you can spend 13k

all i5 non-k around 11-14k, K series even.more costly. FX 6300 ~ 7.3 is the best BANG FOR BUCK Cpu among ALLL PROCESSOR.

revision should be mentioned on box afaik.

why is chipset in that screenshot being shown as 780G + SB700 when *www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4028#ov mentions 760G + SB710 for all 3 revisions!

Nope, i3 3220 comes close to FX6300..
FX6100 is a crap when it comes to gaming.. Even in heavily optimised multi threaded games, it doesnt even manage to outperform i3s

FX 6300 is better only in OCing and mutithreaded performence and FEW more things but it is more futureproof so better stick with FX

FX 6100 local price is just 6k^ but no one is intrested so 2nd hand fx 6100 not worth at all @ 5.5k
