Hi all, I need a little advice on a new cpu.
I have a AM2 mobo and am looking to drop a new cpu in it but i cant decided on which way to go, should i for a
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (ish) Dual core or
AMD Athlon 64 X2 FX62 Dual core.
Friends have given different advice, "go for the 5200, its now worth spending the extra for the FX version" others have said its a no brainer get the FX.
It is going in a pure games machine and is joined with a Geforce 8800 GTX and 2gB ocz memory. As i dont really want to spend any more money for a good 12/18 months i need to chose a cpu that will run the new games.
Any pointers would be great,
Thanks again
