AMD A10-7850K + GTX 770 OC good for gaming ?

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 26, 2014

I'm wondering if the AMD A10-7850K + GTX 770 OC is good for gaming because I wan't to upgrade my whole pc and on the beginning I wanted to go with the i7 4790 + GTX 770 OC but the i7 is kinda expensive and than I found the A10 7850k with 3.70ghz and I dont know if it is good because some people say AMD cpu's are shit no matter hoe high the GHz is so now im asking u guys which set is better. if u know plz answert thanks

EDIT: I have a i5 3350p + GTX 770 OC right now

lol saw the edit and you already have an i5. i5 much faster than A10.

The i5 3350p is more powerful as a CPU then the a10 7850k by a lot. Apus are only good when you arnt going to use a gpu , they are not meant to be a stand alone CPU. It will bottleneck your 770

That 4th gen i7 will be the better, more better.. Look at this, a huge difference.. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4790-vs-AMD-A10-7850K.. What's the difference is the A10-7850K costs less which is enough if the PC is used ONLY/MOSTLY for GAMING (can get a decent i5- if only for gaming)..

i5 is better than A10 7850K. You could buy an unlocked i5 and overclock it. That would be an improvement. You could buy an FX-8350 it has 8 threads and sometimes can be better than an i5 at stock.

Going from a 3350p to a A10-7850k would be a downgrade.

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 26, 2014

Ok guys thank you for all the answers but I think I'll just go with the i7 4790

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 26, 2014

or what about the fx 8350 + GTX 770 OC ?

bignastyid · Jul 26, 2014

H3llF1re1000 :

Would be a sideways move maybe a slight upgrade if you OC, but definitely not worth the cost of a new motherboard and cpu.

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 26, 2014

bignastyid :

oh ok so i should go with the i7 4790 than

bignastyid · Jul 26, 2014

Honestly I would save the money. The 3350p should not bottleneck a 770. I would atleast wait for Haswell-e or Broadwell before upgrading.

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 26, 2014

bignastyid :

u mean 5th gen ?

Agera One · Jul 27, 2014

H3llF1re1000 :

Yes, 5th generation intel processors with 14nm (die size) technology (4th gen have 22nm technology)..

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 27, 2014

Agera One :

when will they come out ?
and will the asrock z97 extreme 4 support them ? (thats the mobo i will get)

Agera One · Jul 27, 2014

The intel broadwells are expected to release on the second quarter of 2015.. However, as far as i know, MSI Global gaming 7 and your asrock will support intel broadwell (i.e. fifth generation) processors..

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 27, 2014

Agera One :

will they support them right out of the box without updating the bios ?

and whats the second quarter of 2015 ?

Agera One · Jul 27, 2014

I didn't say you don't have to update BIOS.. As from wikipedia's info about broadwell, Broadwell is the 14nm (die size) technology of Haswell processors.. So, those mobos that supports haswell will support broadwell too, but one can say only after the release that BIOS update is a must or not..

Broadwell-H processors comes with LGA 1150 socket and it will work with those motherboards whereas Broadwell-EP and Broadwell-EX comes with LGA 2011-3 sockets that doesn't work with those mobos.. And LGA 2011-3 is not backward compatible to LGA 2011 too..

Intel already sent sample chips for its trusted partners for testing.. And to your clarification, Skylake architecture will be the successor of Broadwell.. It comes in 4 variants.. Cannonlake will be skylake's successor.. Second quarter means April-June 2015 as an year has four quarters having 3 months each..

eehhh.... I did not get any of that sry xD

Agera One · Jul 27, 2014

What ?!!?

Anyway.. In straight, your motherboard supports only one type of 5th generation intel CPUs (those with the suffix broadwell-H).. It'll be released from April - June 2015..

Agera One :

urghh so long...

bignastyid · Jul 27, 2014

Agera One :

Currently only the 9 series boards(H97 and Z97) are going to have support for the socket 1150 Broadwell cpu's. The older 8 series boards will not have broadwell support.

Yes, that's what I said.. I mentioned those mobos.. and the "those" were both Z97 chipsets.. MSI Global gaming 7 and your asrock Z97 extreme.

LucoTF · Jul 28, 2014

Why are you upgrading at all? Your rig is fine

H3llF1re1000 · Jul 28, 2014

LucoTF :

I dont like my i5 3350p and i'm also upgrading my case to a gaming case and my components look like shit especially my mainboard xD
