Which processor is the better?

Which processor is better?

• AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor FD4100WMGUSBX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103996 OR AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ980FBK4DGM - OEM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=19-103-935&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo If this helps, I'm going to be using the computer for gaming and rendering videos out of Sony Vegas (quickly). I do not play on over clocking it because I wanted the Intel 2500k @ 4ghz but these AMD one's are good enough. So which one would be the better processor? -I'm not going to overlock the CPU or the GPU -I'm going to use it for gaming and rendering videos out of Sony Vegas quickly ALSO for whatever processor you choose out of these two, do you think it is better (money wise, gaming wise, and computer wise [as in it'll do the job better]) Thanks. I appreciate all your help to the people who answered ;)

• Answer:

  The phenom II x 4 980 is without a doubt better than the FX 4100 overall, especially in gaming: Benchmarks: Skyrim: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-fx-pentium-apu-benchmark,3120-3.html Metro 2033: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-fx-pentium-apu-benchmark,3120-8.html BF3: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-fx-pentium-apu-benchmark,3120-4.html Starcraft 2: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-fx-pentium-apu-benchmark,3120-6.html The Phenom II x 980BE is indeed the wiser choice =D
