Yes if you mean to replace it with gtx 650 ti boost. Both won't work obviously

Buddy, check the review of the latest games like Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Battlefield 4, Tomb Raider 2012 etc and you will find out how bad the dual core Processors perform in these games. There are instances where even the lower end Trinity Quad Cores like A8-5600K beating the Intel i3 3210 or 2100 Dual Core processors when paired with a powerful Graphics card. Get either the FX-6300 or an Intel i5 Quad Core processor.

650ti boost is way better than 560ti.

Fx6300 rig makes more sense to go with

No point of getting i3 unless if you plan to play only older games than 2012

Agree on fx 6300 + 650 ti boost. Best combo for this price

The problem with fx6300 is that, the compatible MB are too costly and you will go for cheap MB it will be 5 years old MB :(

At least some low profile graphics should be attached to these processors like Intel does. And AMDs CPU+GPU solutions are too bad as compared to Intel and it will take more 100 years to come close to Intel.

Wait till 14th Jan 2014 ???

AMD's next desktop chip lands in January, merges CPU and GPU like never before

Mean time RaspberryPi version "B" will do the work :)

Lets not discuss what is the problem with AMD or Intel rather than focusing on OP's needs here. Since OP asked for a Gaming system, Integrated Graphics is not going to help him here and he needs a dedicated powerful GPU to handle Gaming. So is there any point of suggesting him an inferior processor for gaming and CPU intensive tasks just because it has a very weak Integrated Graphics, specially when OP is also getting a dedicated Graphics card?
Lets stick to the point guys rather than start pushing your own opinions whihout helping him.

Agree with Cilus, I am looking for dedicated GPU and not integrated. As mentioned earlier, not if favour of i3 at all. Either 8310 or 8350 (If members says its woth buying). I am ready to compromise on other components but not in Proc/GPU/MB.
