Recommended CPUs for the Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X 2GB GDDR5 VGA

LukaBoki · Jul 19, 2014

The title says it all.
My old CPU sux and it pretty much died and i wanna get a new one,but i dont wanna buy a CPU that will bottleneck the 270X.
So,can you suggest some CPU,both AMDs and Intels (please no AMD FXs and Intel i7s,cuz i pretty much spent all my saved money on this GPU,and have just enough to buy a new CPU)
Thanks in advance

Your budget for CPU?

LukaBoki · Jul 19, 2014

6R1M01R3 :

Around 150-200 euros
Maybe some AMD Phenom II? i dunno

For 200 euros, get the i5 4670k, the i5 4690k is 20-30 euros more. Unless you were talking about 200 euros for the cpu and the motherboard. If so, get the FX-8320, which will leave you around 65 euros for a motherboard.

Ytyoussef :

No,but is there any AMD Phenom II processor recommended for the r9 270x,

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

LukaBoki :

Why do you want an amd phenom II? The card can work with any CPU just fine, it doesn't have to be AMD.

6R1M01R3 · Jul 19, 2014

LukaBoki :

Why would you want a Phenom II? That'd be a bottleneck.
If you need a new motherboard as well, for 200 you can get a motherboard and cpu.
What country are you from? that way I could look for sites and stores that sell computer hardware and recommend you something within that budget.

Cuz i found an AMD Phenom II X6 1055t for 90 euros new,and the i5 4670k for 200 euros.

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

That's why he asked what your budget was. ^^ The fx-6300 is for 95 euros and it's better than the amd phenom you listed.

LukaBoki · Jul 19, 2014

Thanks everybody!!!!

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

Wow, you sure make up your mind really fast. ^^ You didn't even ask about a motherboard. But anyway, you're welcome and please make sure to select an answer.

Ytyoussef :

I cant find any FX in my country....Thats why i have chosen the 1055t...the i5 is to expensive,and since im going to high school now,i pretty much wont need my PC cuz i wont have as much time to spend on it as when its summer...

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

Where do you live? I can have a look at the shops in your country and tell you what you can get. ^^

Montenegro

:L Couldn't find anything, but you could ask at an alti shop in podgorica or bijelo polje.

LukaBoki · Jul 19, 2014

Ytyoussef :

Woah...Im surprised you found that site,i couldnt find it myself.Where do you live?
But anyway,im happy with my current build and the 1055t.Im not planning on upgrading my PC for next 3-5 years...

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

In France, and I just found their website which tells you where you can buy the parts from: http://www.alti.rs/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=76&Itemid=

Ytyoussef :

I know but im far away from those towns..too lazy....I think the 1055t is enough and it can arrive in 2-3 days. i have an am3 socket mobo which is needed for the 1055t.If i wanted the FX 6300,i would need a new am3+ socket mobo...

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

Where are you ordering from? And well, I guess the 1055t shouldn't be too bad, but I'd suggest you overclock it so you can get more performance out of it, get a cheap air cooler like a hyper 212 evo and it should do the job.

LukaBoki · Jul 19, 2014

Ytyoussef :

I ordered the Hyper 212 EVO with it..It is gonna arrive with the 1055t in 3 days..I would overclock it but my Gigabyte M52LT-D3 mobo cant support overclocking I think....

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

Indeed. :L Well at least your processor won't be too hot with the cooler ^^

Ytyoussef · Jul 19, 2014

I just thought of something, montenegro is in the EU... So you shouldn't have any trouble ordering something from another country in the EU, I mean there wouldn't be any customs fees.
