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.

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.

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.

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
