I am trying to piece togather a gaming pc on a budget and i am looking for a good cpu for a lowish price. I would love a 2500k but just cant afford the $200 price tag. I was looking at the fx-4100 or the phenom II x 4 and cant decide between the two. I have heard that the phenom out preformes the fx on all benchmarks but that the fx can be overclocked higher and easier than the phenom and in doing so yields higher preformance than the phenom. I also was looking at the reviews on the fx at newegg and alot of them say that the benchmars show lower preformance but in real world applications the fx blows the phenom out of the water. Is there anyone out there that has went from the phenom II x 4 to the fx-4100? If so what did you think?
