hi iam looking for a new cpu just for gameing but which best 165 or 175 or 180 or the fx series thanks temp

obviously 180>165 but they both OC to about the same level

the only CPU id consider buying over either of those would be the FX-60 but it really isnt worth the money.


no overclocking: X2 4400+
overclocking: opteron 165
your daddy is bill gates: FX60

the 175 so you can get it up higher than an fx-60 with less chance of using a ram divider (the 175 has a higher multiplyer than the 165)

-The Desktop: Abit NF7-S V2 w/ the old AXP-M 2500+ (OC'd) and TT Volcano 12, 1 gig RAM, 37GB WD Raptor, 80Gb Hitachi, XFX NVidia GEForce FX 5700LE (OC'd), Enermax Aluminum Case and XClio 450watt psu, DL DVD-R/RW, DVD-ROM (+ floppy)
SB Audigy 2 ZS
-Everyday:HP Laptop 15.4WS w/Turion64x2 TL-56, 2gig, 160gb, Lightscribe DVD-R/RW, NVidia graphics, Vista

but is it worth the extra $150 or whatever?
i dont think so...
170 should be your only other possible consideration
