AMD FX 6100 is a six-core chip while AMD Phenom II X6 1055T offers five cores. Compare their features to decide which suits your needs.

Bulldozer performed poorly. The older Phenom chip offers superior single core and multi-core capabilities. For context, Bulldozer—the framework behind the 6100—almost caused AMD financial trouble. (Perhaps Piledriver was the one that came first. They’re essentially similar.)

Yes, there are several good FX CPUs available. They offer a balance of performance and value for various use cases.

You can try an 8350 by pushing it to its limits, but a second-gen Intel chip is affordable enough that opting for an i5-2400 would likely be a smarter choice.

I'm looking to improve my AM3 PC, but I only have an i5-2400 and don't want to fit the GTX 970.

Some Dell OEM motherboards available.

I recommend choosing a more powerful case instead. Upgrading an AM3 PC is similar to swapping the engine gasket on a 600k mile Chrysler minivan—it could perform slightly better, but it's not a worthwhile investment.
