amd fx 6300

skitz9417 · Mar 17, 2014

hi guys im just wondering would a fx 6300 be good for gaming and light video editing ?

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 17, 2014

for the price range and your uses you listed it is the best choice

david271749 · Mar 17, 2014

Yes. That's a decent processor, and the price is good. The 8320 is better and costs just a little more.

skitz9417 · Mar 17, 2014

ok cool im kinda on budget and i live in australia so pc parts are pricey and will fx 6300 bottleneck gtx 780 (for later down the road )

VenBaja · Mar 17, 2014

Good is a subjective term. Do you have a budget, certain games in mind, and an expected level of performance?

skitz9417 · Mar 17, 2014

just want a good upgrade over my x4 945 and 150 dollars

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 17, 2014

is your mother board chipset compatible with vishera chips? and piledriver is a fair upgrade from deneb

david271749 · Mar 17, 2014

I'd get the 8320. It's still in that range.

skitz9417 · Mar 17, 2014

i have this board GA-970A-UD3

david271749 · Mar 17, 2014

That wlll work with an 8320.

skitz9417 · Mar 17, 2014

um in australia the fx 8320 is 189 dollars i said my budget is 150 dollars

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 17, 2014

you can support a 6300 on your mobo you might have to do a bios update. it requires bios version F7 to run properly. and your board has good phasing (8+2)

for video editing this cpu is better than your current phenom

seeing how your budget is 150 and a 8320 is 185 in australia i would stick with the 6300

skitz9417 · Mar 17, 2014

ok cheers

skitz9417 · Mar 18, 2014

so at stock with the fx 6300 will it bottleneck a gtx 780 or 2 hd 7870s

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 18, 2014

i would only go as high as a 770 and i would expect to see a bottleneck with 2 7870 as well. you can overclock it since you have good phasing but make sure you get a good cooler because that puppy gets hot. with a good overclock you can try a 780 but i would expect to see a bottleneck just not as much. i would just stick with a 770 especially if your gaming at 1080p @ 60hz

skitz9417 · Mar 18, 2014

well i have nh-d14 and sometime i play games with 3 screen of a res of 3820x720 so would 2 hd 7870 or gtx 780 handle it ?

david271749 · Mar 18, 2014

All that and $150 budget for processor. Lol.

skitz9417 · Mar 18, 2014

what do u mean

david271749 · Mar 18, 2014

How are you willing to spend so much on graphics but so little on your processor? These days a good processor will last you longer than a good gpu.

skitz9417 · Mar 18, 2014

but its hard to get cheap parts in aus and by saving up

david271749 · Mar 18, 2014

I know, man. Entertainment electronics are overpriced in Australia. Something to do with government regulations and taxes right? I know it's bothersome, but I don't think a 6300 is worth buying for everything else you have.

skitz9417 · Mar 18, 2014

what i should just stick with my x4 945 over fx 6300 ?

david271749 · Mar 18, 2014

I'd wait and save. You're not too far from the 8000s.

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 18, 2014

well the tripe monitor arent really that bad because of the resolution it is...
skitz triple monitor pixel count 2750400
1080p resolution pixel count 2073600
1440p resolution pixel count 3686400

it is right in between the 2 so a 770 shouldnt have a problem with it but get a 4gb version because it will eat up vram

skitz9417 · Mar 18, 2014

if i oc the fx 6300 to like 4-4.2ghz would that help much ?
