Should i move about near AMD's X2 or FX chip series?

I want to build using the AM2 platform. Should i stir with next to the FX-60, or should I wait till the price lowers and take an X2 series processor? I realistically would only close to to spend around $200, MAYBE $250. But if i get a huge carrying out gain using one over another, maybe it might be worth the extra money.

It matter what you are trying to do. For gaming, it's NOT usually the cpu, it's the graphics card that is the most high-status. Here's a place for benchmarks (charts) for cpus and video cards.
The FX-60 is a socket 939, not an AM2. I would get one of the dual core X2's. Whichever is affordable for your AM2 board.
Go next to AM2 which uses DDR2 ram since the FX-60 uses DDR run into which is becoming harder to find. That is unless you get a large amount on an FX-60 and can also purchase compatable DDR400 ram at impossible to tell apart time .

I had alike decision a couple of months ago and terminated up getting an FX-55 for $130.00 at NewEgg and OCZ DDR400 ram. If not for great price on FX-55 I would hold gone with AM2 CPU.

And here is a apposite article comparing AM2 and socket939 platforms. AMD has X2 processors for both sockets.

Interesting to details that DDR2 is not that big an increase in implementation over DDR ram (at tiniest for AMD processors) until you hit the much higher priced CPU's and RAM.
