C Conterior Honorable Nov 16, 2013 26 0 10,530 Nov 19, 2013 #1 Hi. I would like to know what would be the best AMD cpu and mobo combo to use for medium to high end gaming. I know AMD has socket Fm2 and AM3+, so which of the two would work best on a budget of about $250?

Solution H H Hazle Nov 19, 2013 just the CPU and mobo? PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($158.97 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($69.99 @ Microcenter) Total: $228.96 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
