Hey, I'm looking to buy/build a new PC. I'm trying to decide between the AMD FX 6200 or Intel i5-2400. I've had a look at some benchmarking charts and it seems the FX 6200 comes out that little bit better. Anyway, wanted some opinions on which would be the one to go for.
 
a lot of people would say go for the I5 but add the extra and go for the 2500k (£179.99) or for the same price you could go for the I5 ]3570k[/URL] (£179.99) overclockability the FX 6200 (£119.99) chips arent favourable at the min but if its for cheapness you could look at the I3
 
3570k and over clock it, or get a 2500K second hand and then clock the balls off that .
Either of those chips will smash through pretty much anything that the pc gaming world can through at it atm.

You really need to specify your budget as you could be getting a lot of recommendations that are out of your price range.
