I'm about to buy an AMD FX-8350 and I don't know what motherboard to buy with it? Which would be better and why?

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

Or would you recommend a different motherboard altogether? I'd like to keep it around the same price range if possible

Here is a good choice ^

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

What makes that one better than the other ones? that's the part I don't understand I guess.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013

The MSI is decent but the gigabyte is outdated.The Asrock i linked is a solid budget choice for the 8350.

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

What about the Asus one? How does it compare with your recommendation and thanks for the help by the way.

2 nice ASUS boards

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

Yeah that's the one I was looking at besides the Asrock being a little bit cheaper is it any better than the Asus one?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013

They are pretty equal , they both will run good with the 8350.

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

So do you think that processor and motherboard as long with a evga geforce gtx 660ti would run games well?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013

Yes , just make sure you have a decent PSU.

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

What would a decent psu be for running that hardware? Right now I have 600watt psu

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013

What brand and series?

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

I'm honestly not sure I think the brand is blue star.

This Seasonic would be a good fit.

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

I'm guessing my current one wouldn't work to well then?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013

No get , the one i linked , you don't want to risk damage to your build by runnining an inferior PSU.

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

Okay last question with that build
EVGA Geforce gtx 660ti
the asrock motherboard
AMD FX-8350
and seasonic psu

Do you think I'd be able to run most games on high to max settings?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013

High with no problem.Max on some.I have a similar setup on 2 of my computers.

I run a HD7870 XT Tahiti.

chatcher1993 · Jun 1, 2013

Alright thanks for all the help I appreciate it.

Dark Lord of Tech · Jun 1, 2013
