Phenom II X4 955 or AMD FX 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.

AnandTech - Bench - CPU

i could get the cooler later, i wont overclock it then for some time Asrock H61M-VS Micro-ATX Motherboard (Socket 1155, Onboard Sound and LAN, ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility - AXTU): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories is that ok ? can i buy that ?

Not a fan of mATX, but yeah, that would work.

That board is... uh.

It's... well... kind of... i don't think you will get bootlegged by it, but if you want to upgrade in the future (cpu/gpu) you will need a different mobo.

I did not advise against getting it, I have no experience with that particular board. I just do not like that form factor, too small for my taste.

Since Alen is inactive atm, i shall answer like he would...

AMD II X4.
Bulldozer series is a flop.

That's just like saying that a table made out of iron and one out of polyester are the same.

i dont really think i would be upgrading to other cpu/gpu, if ill buy it it will last me for another 6 years (like this pc) so yeah, just tell me if radeon 6850 would fit in it ?

What a shitty motherboard, have fun having your whole system fail.

Yeah, the 6850 will fit on the mobo, not sure about your case.

Also did you already get the 6850? Because if you still haven't, go for the 7850.

I rather have nothing for a few weeks then a piece of shit motherboard that is most likely fail within a year. H61 is an AWFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL chipset, get the new Z77.

Or just a z68. The z77 motherboards aren't very expensive.

Stay away from H61 chipset altogether.
