Ok, i have to bring this up again, i'm trying to choose a processor for my first system, and i'm deciding between these 2 again. I pretty much settled on FX-62 when suddenly the 5600+ dropped in price by $110 to $329 in the last 2 weeks or so and is now cheaper than FX-62 which is $410. What i'd like to know is is it still worth getting the FX, even though it's more expensive? I looked at benchmarks and the 2 perform exactly the same. Furthermore, the Fx-62 has that unclocked multiplier so it should overclock better, however i've been reading that people are having trouble overclocking it past 3.2Ghz. I don't want to push my system by a lot more than that but still i want to have something that overclocks well. So what shall it be Fx-62 or 5600+?
