Hey guys

I was planning on upgrading my budget rig with an FX 6300 for both gaming and mutlitasking I reckon it would be a great bang for the buck, my old mobo died on me :( I managed to rescue the i3, but there doesn't seem to be much sense going with a dual core anymore. My case only allows microATX form factor and I am looking at the MSi 760GMA-P34 (FX) which would compliment my case well with USB 3.0 etc. But I am uncertain if the older chipset would set back the FX 6300. What are your thoughts?

Also the MSi 760GMA-P34 (FX) supports the FX 6300 out of the box. I am aware that there are no mATX motherboards avaliable with AMD 9 series chipset.

As always thank you for the help!

What board does your i3 have? Might make sense to just upgrade it to an i5, if possible.

I am going to RMA my mobo and see if I can find a nice deal on a sandy/ivy bridge i5.

The AMD FX 6300 is only a 95 watt CPU... Granted he wouldnt be able to upgrade but the 6300 is a solid CPU at the moment and wont need upgrading for a while
