Hello to everyone,

I want to upgrade my pc because the one i have is old.
The main work of the PC will be at DAW's like Fl studio.
So many VST's and effects..

My budget is not too big so these are the cpu's i have on mind:

- INTEL I3 2120

- AMD A6 3650

- AMD A8 3850

What you think?
Any other suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

Just remember that when you upgrade your CPU from an older computer, you will most likely need to upgrade your montherboard and RAM, and depending on how old your old computer is, possibly your video card (AGP vs PCI vs PCIe) and power supply as well..

Just making sure. :)

I think most people here would suggest you go with the Intel I3, though I prefer AMD myself.

However, I'm not sure about the AMD A6 and A8.

My new computer is an A6 and it has performed spectacularly, however I've heard rumors it doesn't play well with NI Komplete 64 bit. We will see.
