well... tomorrow its day that im gonna order my pc parts, still cant make my mind, please could someone tell me which processor is better ? AND WHY ?

thanks :P

in additon, is it gonna be good for playing bf3, on a radeon 6850 with a phenom ii x4 955 or fx 4100 ?

AMD FX-4100 Vs Phenom ii X4 955 | Compare Processors
Check the results , AMD FX 4100 is much better.

Anyway i recomend u get i5 or i7 by intel.
i5
AMD FX-4100 Vs Core i5-2400 | Compare Processors
Check Benchmarks.
i7.
AMD FX-4100 Vs Core i7-2600K | Compare Processors

Anyway u will be able to play BF3 , in Medium settings (60FPS) [i think...)
With i5 or i7 , all on Ultra with 50 -70 FPS.

Phenom ll X4 Series to me is betther and out performs the FX Series...
I'll choose any of these X4 955/965/970/975/980 over this FX-4100

Phenom II X4, BullDozer is awful, I recommend you to stay away from that chip if possible.

thanks anyway

Get the X4 965 works like a beast, I had it... I got the X4 975 in a Test Build...

Go with the Phenom, the FX series have been a flop.

Get the phenom. The 4100 uses modules rather than cores, making the phenom a true quad core processor

number of cores =! performance.

The i3 2120 is a better gaming cpu than the 955 or 4100.

And if you OC it a little you get a beast, and it has a 35w TDP compared to 95w (4100).

You need an lga 1155 mobo for it, don't forget about that.

Also get a hyper 212 or 612 cooler so you can overclock.

Head over to -> Build a PC for better advice.

EDIT: Also, the i3 does indeed beat the fx and phenom 2 in gaming, but in some other parts it's overtaken by some amount.
