CPU Question

[gunnerzz1008]

Buying a new PC not from this site. I have the option of an:

AMD BULLDOZER FX 4100 Black Edition, Quad Core, 3.6GHz/3.8GHz, 12MB Cache

Or

AMD BULLDOZER FX 6100 Black Edition, Six Core, 3.3GHz/3.9GHz, 14MB Cache no competitor price hinting.

I am planing to use my rig for gaming and AutoCAD with some 3D rendering software. I have heard that siz cores will benefit the CAD and rendering but not gaming. I'm wondering if games will perform worse with the hex core.

This is my whole rig:

Cooler Master Elite 430 All Black ATX Case with Side Window
500W Desktop Power Supply
MSI 970A-G46 AMD FX Motherboard - CrossFireX™/SLI™ Ready
AMD BULLDOZER FX 6100 Black Edition, Six Core, 3.3GHz/3.9GHz, 14MB Cache

You really should be going for Piledriver if your set on AMD ,such as the 4300 or 6300. As it has up to 20% more performance over the previous version.

AMD PILEDRIVER FX 8320 Black Edition, 8 Core, 3.5GHz/4.0GHz, 16MB Cache? no competitor price hinting.

Might be able to stretch to that.
