At this point it makes no sense to buy into AM3+.
Well, if you live near a Micro Center -- it certainly does.
From a performance perspective, you are just not going to beat an FX6300 AND a motherboard for $99. They are basically selling the CPU's for about $60 a piece when you factor in the cost of the motherboard. The FX8320E is just a few bucks more.
And for Visual Content Creation -- that is something the FX chips do incredibly well. Gaming at 1080p? Not as much but reasonably competent.
