the 1055t is better but a quad core with faster clock would be even faster.

I agree with Muffin. Definitly the 1055 the Bulldozer really isn't worth it especially in the gaming area.

6100 = Faildozer / 1055T is a bit outdated and Ivy Bridge is coming out in April... I suggest you save money for a 3570K

its not just the cpu you also need the ram and gpu to not lag

not sure where you are but for an extra £15 $22 you can get the 2500k 3.3 ghz

Because it doesn't perform that great. It runs slow and hot and for the 8150 it's overpriced. It gets beaten out by the old Phenom II and Athelon II which is pretty pathetic. The 4,6,8 core Bulldozer even gets beaten out by Intels dual core I3. The Bulldozer is a joke they had been developing it for years and it can't even beat out the older class processors like the PhenomII and Athelon.

The FX series are slow per clock, meaning that a FX 3Ghz CPU may give the same performance of a Phenom II 2.7Ghz CPU. Right now, per clock, Intel's CPU are about 50% better be clock, meaning an Intel SB CPU at 1Ghz is about what a Phenom II CPU is @ 1.5Ghz.

That is a fine CPU, but do you plan on doing CF/SLI or overclocking? Because that CPU cannot be overclocked and runs bellow 3Ghz, I would suggest the core i5 2400/2500 for gaming.

that processor is great but just remember to spend at least as much on your gpu as you do on a cpu in a gaming computer. I'd even suggest spending 2x as much on a gpu as a cpu to get the most balance gaming machine for your money. Of course other factors like upgrading and different cpu perfermance can change that.

You could also go for a i3 2100 or 2120 - it's cheaper and can out perform any AMD CPU. The i3 has hyper-threading so it has 2 cores, 4 threads (threads are not the same as a core). I would go for a i3 and pay for a 560 Ti or something.

I would really suggest putting it together yourself. It is much cheaper than buying from some online store. Plus you get more experience with the hardware and computer in general. :)
