This review is from: AMD FX-4300 - FX-4000 Series Vishera Quad-Core 3.8 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD4300WMHKBOX

Pros:

I used this before upgrading to an FX 8350. And I have to say, it is decent for what you pay for. If you do everyday computing then this CPU is great and responsive. As for gaming, this will handle decently but this WILL bottleneck you in game such as Crysis 3 and BF4 if you have a video card over 180$ish. However it plays MOST games very well without bottleneck.

Cons:

None I can think of

Overall Review:

If you play hardware demanding games, just go for the 8350/8320. After upgrading to an 8350 after this one, my FPS has gone up considerably. Save yourself the time and buy something worth it for what you are doing.
