FX 6350 + GA-970A-DS3P + RX 480 8GB will this work?

Dutchpixel · Sep 17, 2016

The title says it already, will this work properly for gaming.

sizzling · Sep 17, 2016

The FX6350 will limit performance in some games, its a little weak to pair with a 480. It also uses an old socket and RAM. An i3 6100 build with DDR4 would be much better, and give upgrade options in the future

Yeah but i bought it because its the minimum requirement of AC: syndicate and mirror's edge: Catalyst.
But maybe il buy in the future a FX 8370e or FX 9590.

Well its a bit pointless asking if you have already bought it. Personally I would have gone with an i3 6100, it performs better than the FX6xxx & FX8xxx ranges in games and gives you an option to upgrade to an i5 or i7 later. The 6100 also uses DDR4 which will be compatible with future platforms unlike DDR3.

I don't mean to sound harsh but personally I think the FX range are outdated and not a wise investment.

9590 is junk an i3 will outperform it in most titles.

I didnt buy the I3 6100 because it was a dual core and i know that far cry 4 wont let you boot up the game if its a dual core.

I found a i5 4460 for €170 is this a good option?

sizzling · Sep 18, 2016

The 4460 is a slighter better option. FYI the i3 6100 although dual core has hyperthreading so it has 4 threads and is far superior in games to the 6300. A 6100 build should be very similar cost to an FX6300 build and gives far greater upgrade options. The 4460 would be a 2nd choice, its still an old socket and uses DDR3 so very limited upgrade path.

I chose the i5 4460 because it has 4 core's and farcry 4 wont even boot if you have 2 core's so thats the reason why i dont want the i3 6100. I want to stick with DDR3 because if my stick doesn't work anymore i can instantly replace them with all my other DDR3 sticks. BTW. if i want DDR4 i chose the I5 6300.

You cant think of the i3 as a normal dual core due to hyperthreading it behaves like a quad, in Far Cry 4 even the old 3220 gets a better minimum fps than the FX 6300 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/far-cry-4-benchmark-performance-review,4019-4.html

The 6100 is significantly better than the old 3220
