    fx stuff is pretty naff for games, prob wont be noticed in alot of situations but the core i3/i5 stuff is far better performance wise.

    if you stretch the budget a tenner or so you can get a low end i5 quad and a B75 motherboard.

    Asus P8B75-M LX Intel B75 Socket 1155 Motherboard - £45

    Intel Core i5 3330, S 1155, Ivy Bridge, Quad Core, 3GHz - £138

    Will thrash both of the above suggestions.
