AMD FX-6300 is it good for gaming?

Lucas Pejica · Jun 4, 2014

is this processor combined with 8gb of ddr3 ram and a nvidia gtx 760 good with gaming @1080p ultra?

Ultra, on older games yes, newer titles, no. Are you upgrading existing hardware or buying new?

Buying New

What is your budget then? I do not recommend getting AM3+ now as it is a dead platform. AMD is not releasing any new chips for it.

Lucas Pejica · Jun 4, 2014

My budget is £500-550 with all my components so far it comes to around £505

The AMD fx-serries CPUs are a good bang-for-the-buck cpu, as mentioned they are as of current dead platform with no future upgrades.

If you do chose to go with AMD fx serries, the fx-8320 is only $25 more.

I would go with something more like this. The 270x isn't much slower than a 760, but the i5 4460 is far superior to an FX 6300.

Would the r9 270x run bf4 smoothly at 1080p?

logainofhades · Jun 4, 2014

Yes it will.

I own 6300! Love it. Worth the price, especially if you going to overclock it. Some benchmarks show it performs almost the same as 8350 at the same frequency when both highly overclocked (4.7GHz and more). I run it on 4Ghz so far, played crysis3 on 1920x1080 on high. Can't max it out only because of GPU (660OC). It should go fine with 760 without any bottleneck.
