Yes I am looking to waste money just for the good experience of the chip.
Piledriver wasn't necessarily a huge success, it was what FX was meant to be, so basically:
FX-6300 £100 95W
Phenom II x4 £71 95W (BE)
Phenom II x6 £82 125W (Not BE)
In terms of performance to price ratio, which really is the best to go for?
Which will be the hottest and need more voltage when overclocked?
I will be overclocking the chip either way, I run these as my most demanding tasks:
ARMA II
BF3
So something not to bottleneck my HD 6850.
I want a nice chip to play around with, overclock nicely and see a good single threaded performance boost.
So in other words, something that'll be fine at games, won't bottleneck my GPU and something I can mess around with
If the old dual cores were up to the task I would of gone for that, but it isn't
Basically I want the minimum amount of cores to run games, and overclock the living lift out of it.

), but is probably the least capable chip all round, being a quad rather than a hex.
