My system

Asus M5A78L-M/Usb3 Am3+
Corsair Vengeance 8gb(4gbx2) 1600mhz
Asus Direct CU II gtx 960
Antec Vp450p 450w psu
Cooler master Hyper 212x

Thanks

if you can get that phII up to around 3.8-4.0ghz there will be no real improvement

The FX6300 is a bit better - http://cpuboss.com/cpus/AMD-Phenom-II-X6-1055T-vs-AMD-FX-6300

and see http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html

and http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASUS/M5A78L-M_USB3.html - but I wouldn't recommend a FX 8core on that motherboard.

Try overclocking the phenom, that's what i would do. Would suggest going to an 8320 and overclock it to 8350+ speeds. The only thing i would worry about is how your 450w psu handles all that load. Its an ok psu, but its still only 450w.

An FX 6300 @4.5 GHz should perform close to 25% faster than a 4.2 GHz Phenom II x6.

So should i buy fx 6300 or not? I cant overclock my phenom processor because no room for overclocking with my psu. And my existing ram(corsair vengeance) will work with fx 6300 if i buy it?

The ram is fine. I would really advice you to try to spring another 15 $ to get the FX 8300. It's not that much more expensive and you'd get the much better deal, consider the FX 8300 is the best bang for the buck on the market currently.

As I said - the FX6300 is a little bit better.

absrap :

as others have said, look at the 8320, its normally a similar price to the 6300 and uses the same power. The bboard says it supports up to 140w in the specs. Even an 8350 is a 125w part so there should be no issue, even with some slight overclocking.

There is a difference of Rs.3500 between Fx 6300 and Fx 8320 which is a big deal

i7Baby · Jul 2, 2015

If yopur worried abot price then just stick to your 1055t - not much worse than a fx6300 anyway.

this might help you chose

but if you consider you could quite easily get your 1055 to 3.3 ghz fairly easily the difference is minimal

If i were you i'd consider looking into the overclocking route, it doesn't cost anything:

People, forgot about the FX 8320. If you can find an FX 8300 (NOT 8320), go for it. It's the same CPU and it's probably cheaper.
