Stay on the path to glory with an AMD FX™ processor in your system.
AMD FX processors deliver the highest clocks and most cores you can get on a consumer desktop - plus more cache memory than comparably-priced competition.
The AMD FX processor is built from the company's 8th generation x86 CPU architecture based on over 40 years of silicon-crafting experience.

Great deal if you want to be on AMD and the ssd is actually quite decent for average user

Decent. I guess if you are coming from an old HDD only system the CPU and SSD would make it feel a lot faster.
Still the FX6300 is a VERY old CPU these days and wasn't even the top one when it was current (that was the 8 core FX8350/8370). I'd be interested to know how well it holds up these days considering AMD have been behind intel for a long time now on performance but the fact the current consoles both use AMD chips may allow them to claw back a bit of performance for gaming....

I have a 6300 , 8gb ram and an nvidia 670. Get a decent 50fps on medium on Doom

I'm pretty sure it's still a decent cpu the fact my cpu is an old 8120 and plays latest games nicely as they're starting to use multi cores I think helps just waiting to find a cheap 8350/70 though hehe

The Piledriver series chips were pretty good at being overclocked too. My FX-6100 still runs at 4.2GHz without issue (Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO).

I'm still running a phenom 955 and it's fine. I'm tempted by this myself as I think this makes a good plex server cpu except the power consumption?

Don't need anything near as powerful as this for a plex server, depending on the amount of users using it at one time anyway, I use a E4400 with 2gb of ram that serves around 7 people with no issues, but I am using a debian headless build of linux

Had this chip on my primary pc running at 4.4 Ghz for over 2 years with a 212 EVO. Now it sits in my sisters pc for about a year and still is going strong. Good deal for those wanting to save on the cpu.
