Which one should be future compatible?? FX 8350 or Intel i5 3450

akashdrummerboy · Dec 2, 2015

currently am using an fx 4100 with a GTX 970.. hahaha.. because i just upgraded my card and now I want to upgrade my cpu.. so since my budget is low to purchase anything first hand.. i got 2 guys.. one selling an fx 8350 and the other one selling i5 3450.. both are sellng at an equal price.. which one should i consider going? I wont overclock at all and want to play games ONLY and also some illustrator and photoshop stuffs.. It should serve me atleast 2- 2.5years

8350 would gain the upper hand here, as much as I want to call for Intel.

You'd be fine either way you go. I've got an 8350 and couldn't be happier with how it performs. Seeing that it's an FX part, you could get a pretty good overclock out of it should you wish at some point whereas the Intel part is likely locked.

What motherboard are you currently running? You may need to upgrade that as well if it does not support the 8-core FX chips (many cheaper ones cannot run the 8350 without throttling)

currently using Gigabyte 970A D3P

Mobo's good enough.

please tell me what to do?

okcnaline · Dec 2, 2015

You said you want to upgrade to FX-8350, right? Go get it!

akashdrummerboy · Dec 2, 2015

hey hey hey... what if i get one 8320 new right now??? should i be loosing a loooot on it?

dudeman509 · Dec 2, 2015

No. And you can easily OC the 8320 to run at FX-8350 speeds. That board will handle either chip fine, but you probably won't be able to push much past 4.2 GHz with its VRMs. Nonetheless, should be a huge improvement over the 4100

Plug the speakers or monitor in somewhere else and see if it makes enough of a difference.

Nope. CS GO Presequel is okayish.. demanding games are creating problem.. ups is making sounds..
