Hello all,

Just starting to shop around for a CPU upgrade, and had my eye on the FX-6300. Heard it was a decent budget chip. Currently have two 5770s in crossfire. My current CPU is the A8-3870. Is this a decent CPU upgrade? Any other AMD recommendations?

32GB RAM
1100-1300 PSU (cant remember lol)

Thanks in advance,
Chiknwingding

Then a proper mobo + a 8320 and aftermarket cpu cooler if you wanted to stay amd.

You would need a new motherboard if you wanted a 6300 it's am3+.

The a8 is a Socket FM1 cpu.
