Just wondering if i should go with a FX4170 or a 6100.Those are the only two that fit into my price range, I have been doing a lot of research and can't really make up my mind so i thought I would ask my fellow ROG members.

Thanks for your quick responses guys, I was thinking about waiting on piledriver. So you guys are saying go with a phenom over FX? Will a Phenom II X6 1045T do the trick and hows OC with them?

That X4 gives you fine gaming (I'm a gamer).

I personally don't overclock.
