Maybe not the top-end eight-core FX-8150, but the great value and overclocking capabilities of the six-core FX-6200 made it a tantalising prospect for anyone on a budget looking to put together a gaming rig.

	7.0 read review		8.0 read review	Value is core to this arrangement, and being able to put together a decent AMD CPU/mobo combo for less than a Core i5 setup means that you get a good chunk of cash to spend on your graphics card. FX 8350

Thank you. Should I replace my AMD Phenom II simulation and see that an AMD FX is up. The alternative would be one of its Intel Xeon models, but is very expensive in comparison. When the mask that Intel will be paid for will be drawn? (Original: Gracias. Debo reemplazar mi AMD Phenom II de simulación y veo que un AMD FX está a la altura. La alternativa de Intel sería uno de sus modelos Xeon, pero esta muy caro en comparación. ¿Cuando se sacarán las máscara de que Intel les paga por existir?)
