FX-6200 Review
FX-6200 is a 6-Core Desktop CPU with one thread per core, making a total of 6 and part of the FX-Series released by AMD in 2011/2012.
The performance is not very impressive and at the level with first generation Core I7 released by Intel.
Paired with the appropriate GPU, all demanding games will run on the highest settings.

If its for gaming, go for either the fx 6200 or the fx 8120 :) There won't be much of a difference.

6200 @ 3.8ghz is great for gaming and with a 6970 2gb is great i would of gone the 8 core fx series but when i looked at the benchmarks between the 6200 and the 8150 at the time they wasnt much difference though at that time windows 7 didnt support 8 cores as the update didnt come out yet but ive noticed saints row 3 works like a charm now and with my new ram i want to check out shogun 2 hopefully i get it playable if not ill go and buy a grapphics card when 4 gig is the standard but that will be a while as 3 gig is a standard in the high end cards :P
