Im building a AMD pc shortly & not sure which processor to choose from.

Which would be fastest in general?.. I know nothing much about the AMD range
Using Asrock N68C-S UCC Mobo

So which one is best out of these?...

AMD Phenom II X4 2.80GHz 820 £60
AMD Phenom X4 9650 2.3GHz? £57
AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.80GHz £45
AMD Athlon II X4 620 3.6GHz £60
AMD AM3 Phenom II X2 55 £60
 
What do you need to use it for? I would say the AMD Athlon II X4 620 is better and more power friendly, but overclocking that Phenom II x4 820 will make it a beast.
 
  • AMD® Athlon™ II X3 435
  • AMD® Athlon™ II X3 440

  • AMD® Phenom™ II X2 550 BE
  • AMD® Phenom™ II X2 555 BE

  • AMD® Athlon™ II X4 620

  • AMD® Athlon™ II X4 635

Will just be gaming & stuff.. this is really just a temp build for now. but would like it to be as fast as possible.

So AMD Athlon II X4 620 or Phenom II x4 820?
