A new cpu for a relatively low budget

gimmley · Oct 29, 2013

I currently have a AMD Phenom II X6 1045T and I'm looking for an upgrade for less than 250
a couple of cpu's I found but I need opinions on are:

AMD FX-8350 vishera 8 core:

intel core-i5 3350P Quad-Core:

what do you guys think I'm open to any suggestions I don't plan on overclocking
thank you for any suggestions

You may be able to install the FX-8350 in your current motherboard if it is socket AM3+ and if it can support a 125w CPU.

If you want to go with the Core i5, then you need to buy a socket 1155 motherboard along with the CPU.

mostly gaming occasional recording but i like to have like 10 tabs open at a time and my current cpu can barely handle it lol i never crashed but i also want to get more into youtube/twitch but this one makes recording and gaming a pain i also stream Netflix alot but thats not really a big cpu hog

gimmley :

Nope. Not compatible with the FX series. That is a socket AM3 motherboard. FX CPUs requires a socket AM3+ motherboard.

i have a M4A88-T asus motherboard not sure if it is able to handle the 8350 my power supply is a 750w so that is not an issue ive been slowly upgrading my pc for the last year or so so half the parts are new and half are bout 2 yrs old

jaguarskx :

what is your suggestion on a relatively cheap motherboard that is able to handle it?

well the thing is with that motherboard is i have 3 fans and i like to have two connected to motherboard so it changes speed of fan at higher temps otherwise i guess i could go with all to power supply i believe they are 4 pin but not positive
