I'm planing to buy a new computer, I would like to buy an FX-8350, I cant afford anything better than that(I live in Argentina, everything is more expensive here). I noticed that the 8350 is quite old, and AMD is now making new "APUs", I'm planning on buying a GTX 760, I don't need integrated graphics. The question is: buy an A-SERIES APU and have the spare graphics, buy a ye olde FX-8350, or wait until newer FX CPUs come out. I will have the money in Q1 2015, so I'm also interested in the GTX 800 series... I can wait. I can also see that the FX series will be dead in 2015.
Sorry for any grammar errors, I live in Argentina(spanish) :)

Im assuming an i5 is around the same price in your country as an 8350? There both in the 200 usd range.

there is no news about amd with new cpus... yeah they are only released those APU's recently... forget the APU, just forget about it...

I cant realy tell you so much, you still are waiting more than 3 months for the money... if it would be now, I would suggest you get a 8320, cheaper (8350 is OC version of 8320), then get a cooler and overclock it a little...

yeah the 8350 is year old, but intel did not improve too much.. the haswell architecture + goes to integrated graphics and lower power consumption, it is basicaly an ivy bridge if you may... so there...

but again, cant say much until 2015... broadwell will launch before 2015

you can buy the "newer" FX 9XXX series CPU's, they are just pre-overclocked FX 8XXX CPU's.

That said the FX 8350 is still a great buy in todays standards, very good value for money CPU.

8350 is more than capable for a 760

I got myself an FX-6100 late last year, performs well for the money. But once I overclock it to around 4.3-ish, I hope to see the AMD price/performance ratio truly come to life.
