Need litlle help about chosing CPUs...

[darkomikan]

So,I have to chose between this two CPUs for gaming:

Intel® Core™ i3-3240, BOX 22nm 3.4GHz

AMD APU A8-6600K, 4MB 3.9GHz (up to 4.2GHz)

I think this is hard question...It is same price...

Some small advice will help me...Thank you...

Is it a new PC?

Will you buy a seperate video card?
If no, get A8.
If yes, get FX6300 instead.

Also determines what motherboard you need. Do you already have one picked out?

They're both not so good for gaming.

I'd probably take the i3 system though since it has a proper GPU.

I recommend you look for something else though.

I think the AMD has a better onboard video and it's also faster than that i3 so out of that list you provided I'd say AMD.

If you're expecting it to be a gaming machine you may be heading for a disappointment and that depends on the games you want to play.
