Right now I have a Dell XPS 8500 That I Swapped out The old PSU and GPU I upgraded to a 970 and will be running 3 way SLI soon I am Wondering I have a Intel i7 3770 (getting slow and not able to OC) and I've been looking at The AMD FX-9590 4.7GHz 8-Core Because Its So fast. Also a new bigger Case Could I Upgrade To a AMD FX-9590 4.7GHz 8-Core And a New Motherboard ETC.... Would my Graphics Card Work With That Processor type and What Motherboard Would you Recommend for It. I know a lot of people give it a bad rep but Its only 200 Bucks and Faster Then all Processors Within 100-400 Price Range. And I don't need to worry about power I have a Corsair AX1500i 1500 watt So power IDC about. (I currently have it resting on top of the Pc it wouldn't fit lol) Also Is ram Compatible With all CPU types?

your 3770 will destroy the 9590 dont waste your money

CosmicPigeon · Dec 16, 2014

Its Only a 4 Core and has Been running at 80c For 2 years Its Bound it breck at any moment

CosmicPigeon · Dec 16, 2014

At 3.4 Ghz Fixed I cant OC it at all

Actually, ANY i7 will crush ANY FX. I would suggest you stick with your i7 until programs start to become very slow.

melonhead · Dec 16, 2014

you dont want to compare speeds between an amd and an intel. it just doesnt work because they are completely different setups. the speed may be faster, but i would still put money on an i7 being better.

CosmicPigeon · Dec 16, 2014

But its 8 cores Pushing 5.0 Ghz lol....

CosmicPigeon · Dec 16, 2014

My i7 is only 4 cores pushing 3.4

melonhead · Dec 16, 2014

the architecture of amd vs intel cannot be compared. my i7 4790k quad core will outperform that 8 core amd hands down. speeds dont mean everything unless you are comparing intel to intel or amd to amd (comparable models)
look at the i7 5960x (with logic that is being used) having less cores and a speed 2ghz less, and it destroys fx 9590.

SO hands down its better + mys so used its not funny.

CosmicPigeon · Dec 16, 2014

Im still Looking for the Other Answers In the question Please

melonhead · Dec 16, 2014

if you dont want to listen to answers, dont ask questions. although your 3770 may not benchmark better than the amd, there are i7's that kill the 9590 within the pricerange that you mentioned (100-400$ range.) such as the 4790k. the difference between the 3770k and the 9590 wouldnt be enough for me to say its worth it, because in the end, you are getting a chip that is comparible to what you already have.
if you are going to bat for the amd, get the amd. you dont have to argue your point as why you think its better. i can already see you have your mind set on getting the amd, so just get it if you feel so inclined to do so

coolcole01 · Dec 16, 2014

the intel core is far superior in games your way better with the intel

CosmicPigeon · Dec 16, 2014

Would my Graphics Card Work With That Processor type and What Motherboard Would you Recommend for It that Was Also part Of the question I knew this was ganna turn fanboy quick

melonhead · Dec 16, 2014

he has tunnel vision on speed numbers that he probably wont take it into consideration.
going between the 3770 and the 9590 is like trading in a 1992 cadillac for another 1992 cadillac.

there is no fanboyism going on. as of 3 weeks ago, i finally made the switch from AMD to intel. all i ever used was AMD. so, believe what you want, because you arent accepting answers because you went fanboy on us

coolcole01 · Dec 16, 2014

it will work fine and they are not being fan boys your just not understanding regardless of how fast the amd is the intel does more in its clocks that the amd cant match.

melonhead · Dec 16, 2014

the amd will run considerable higher temps for what it is. that particular AMD is top of the line for AMD. there are no AMD's that i know of that are better, but there is no upgrade option with AMD from there, and is not exactly breaking records, or blowing minds for its speeds. take it for what its worth. if you want it, get it, but keep in mind that there are i7s within 300-400$ that are better than the best AMD chip there is.

ohiou_grad_2006 · Dec 16, 2014

I am an amd fan, that's what i buy. I'm telling you the i7 is a great chip, keep it.
