i5 3330 or Fx 8320 ?

tyjbishop · Oct 24, 2013

Which of these cpus should i get for gaming like bf4 and other fps
I heard Bf4 uses 8 cores which the fx has and the i5 doesnt
also i can get a aftermarket cooler (hyper 212 evo) for the fx but not for the i5 as i am on a budget

I5 is better but the price difference and Overclocking potential makes the 8320 a contender.
Have you considered the I5 3350P? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-3.html
I5 does well in BF4 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/battlefield-4-graphics-card-performance,3634-10.html

FX 8320

FX 8320 since it can overclock and that i5 cannot. On that cooler, 4.2-4.4 should be feasible.

rolli59 :

Another question i have is that i have seen the i5 push a gtx 690 (no bottleneck) but on the fx 8320 will i have any issues with the new r9 280x?

rolli59 · Oct 25, 2013

No it will not bottleneck especially if you OC a bit.

8350rocks :

so if i overclock the 8320 to 4.0 like the 8350 i shouldnt have any problems right?
