If you just some minor editing, you know not something like 20min than the FX 6100 once again is fine for you. --- End quote --- But isn't that intel? It won't work with shaders will it? |

the processor is irrelevant the graphics unit itself is what you want to worry about with blockland |

The latest Intel processors for a while now have a built in graphics accelerator. These processors are code named "Sandy Bridge" and "Ivy Bridge" which have Intel HD 2000, 3000 and 4000 (4000 is the best one, can run BF3). Depending on which generation it is (1st generation sandy bridge has intel HD 2000, 2nd generation has HD 3000, and then Ivy bridge has 4000). These graphics accelerators are good for people who just browse the Internet and play things that require flash or 2D games. These graphics accelerators ARE NOT good for gaming, they just aren't powerful. Intel is in the lead of processing, they are the fastest and worth your money and have better upgrade paths, they are the best to go with if you are a gamer and will be getting a dedicated card. If you get a dedicated card the graphics accelerator will no longer be used. The processor will ony be used for processing and the dedicated graphics card will be handling all of the graphical things. |

I read the FX series aren't good for gaming and that Athlon or Phenom are better but if you go for those id say to go the intel path. |
