So I'm in the market for a new cpu, but there are three options at the midrange pricepoint. I'm not trying to go higher than $90 on this, and I've come to the three options below:
Phenom II X3 740 Black Edition
Athlon II X4 630
Phenom II X2 555
So you're probably wondering why the Callisto is in there. Well that's the only one that comes with a cooler. And right now, I don't have any cooler that will cool the Heka or Propus once overclocked, so I'm going to have to buy a cooler if I go with either one of those.
NOW the question: Can you guys help me decide which is the best choice?
Budget for processor AND cooler: $130
The reason I am not stepping up to a Quad Phenom is my PSU.
