or
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 95W Six-Core $139.99
ASRock 970 EXTREME3 $84.99

So for about $40.00 I can get the 2 more cores. Will I regret it if I save the $40.00? It is just to play games, email, and internet search.
For longevity I say the $40 is worth it. If you are going to get an FX 6300 may as well find an old thuban chip they run around the same price and perform better.
