  1. believe me I have the fx6300 and I like it a lot more than I need for gaming. Also in bf3 there isn't almost no difference between the fx4300 and my fx6300 because amd cpus don't stress much when gaming.My fx6300 can't go over 35% cpu usage in any game I throw at it and the fx4300 can't go over 50% cpu usage, which means that you get slightly really slightly performance boost between the fx4300 and the fx6300 1 or 2 fps

  2. But when you are with intel it's a different story intel usually loads up to 90-100% in games and then the extra cores come in handy :) BTW I have the fx6300 and the i5 3570k with a hd7850 on both of them :)

  3. because to get that extra performance from the six cores it has to be like this: the fx4300 loads up to 100% and it needs more resources which is not true the fx4300 doesn't go over 45% cpu usage in battlefield 3 and if only it goes up to 100% cpu usage you'll get the extra performance from these additional cores.So the bottom line is that there are games that can use more than 4 cores but that doesn't mean that they take any advantage of 6 or 8 cores in 99% of the games. :)
