Good bang for buck gaming cpu?

p1que · Feb 17, 2015

i recently purchased a gtx 780

I like it but i feel my fx 6300 is going to bottleneck it. will an overclocked 8350 still bottleneck the 780? or should it work. i guess i mean should i go 8350 or i-5?

Fx 8350 is better bang for the buck and shouldn't bottleneck 780.Fx 8350 would be better bang for the buck Considering that i5 would mean a new Motherboard altogether. i5 is better, but more expensive.

The FX-8350 is the best bang for your buck CPU. (especially when OC'd)
It will not bottleneck your gtx 780, even while running at stock speeds.

ak47jar3d :

If he would get the FX-8350, he could use the same board as he has now.

FX-6300 = am3+
FX-8350 = am3+

Yep, I meant i5 would mean new Motherboard. Bad grammar!

Ah okay, haha

You'll be fine. Overclock.

the maximum wattage for your gpu card is 252W ...why a 1000W psu?

badboyrog2 :

its a pretty good power supply for the money and with 1000 i knew i could upgrade to whatever and run anything until it dies.

badboyrog2 :

Wondered the same.
You could save some money and get something like this:

i suggest you a FX 8320 instead of FX 8350

barto · Feb 17, 2015

Maybe I missed something. I'm assuming you have everything except the 8350. Is that true or are the others correct in thinking you're going to buy some more additional components.

p1que · Feb 17, 2015

i have everything but the 8350 yes

barto · Feb 17, 2015

Ok. That's what I thought. The 8350 or the 8320 will suffice. The 8320 can be overclocked to 8350 speeds easily. However, if you're willing to spend the money for a 8350, you'll be happy either way.

the fx 8320 cost 25$ less and can be overclock like the fx 8350
