I have a Gigabyte 770-UD3 AMD motherboard which i just got the other day and i have 2 CPU's i'm looking into getting cheap from a friend to use with the board but i need advice on what one is the better to go for?
The first CPU he has is a Phenom II X2 545 (which i was also looking at online) but he also has a Phenom X4 9550.
Is it better to go for the dual core Phenom II X2 545 which i was probably going to get before he said he had one (it has bigger cache at 6mb, bigger frequency and is 45nm compared to 65nm) or should i go for the Phenom 9550 since it is a quad core?
I know both CPU's will work in the board i just got as i check the gigabyte website and i will be doing a fair bit of gaming once i switch my GPU for something newer.
Cheers.
