What should i upgrade first? CPU? Ram?

Buddy_3 · Apr 26, 2016

So here's my build..

FX 6350 6-core 3.91ghz
8 GIGS of DDR3 Ram
CROSSHAIR V FORMULA Z mobo
MSI GTX 970
eVGA SuperNOVA 750 G1 Power Supply 80 PLUS Gold

So do i buy the FX 8350 or the FX 8320?

Do i even need CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 RAM? When i already have 8gigs of DDR3 Crucial in my rig now (just with no heatsink, just regular ole sticks)

Which one do you think i should go with first fellas? There's no "budget" but if i don't have to spend the money then i don't want to. And a part of me wants to go to 16gigs but people say it's kinda useless unless you do video editing.

Thanks!

Your RAM is fine, fancy low-latency RAM can help in some cases but you really don't need it right now. I'd say go for the FX-8350 with the Wraith cooler (when it actually comes to market), then give it a light overclock to 4.3 Ghz or beyond. If you do want to get some new RAM, the Corsair Vengeance Pro is exactly what I recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233778 If you have a little more to spend I'd buy these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820101036 as I believe they can hit some great timings at sub-2666MHz speeds.
