the old vishera fx has nothing but cores and clock speeds. u r better off with a i5 7500

poor motherboard, weak cpu with no upgrade path

mediocre power supply

you would be MUCH better served with an intel build for gaming

Just to confirm. Weak CPU, motherboard is known to have problems running that CPU as its VRM's overheat. Also end of life CPU socket and DDR3 RAM meaning no upgrade path.

I'd go with AMD Ryzen build before a Vishera or a i5 7500. Granted the gaming benchmarks weren't the best at launch, particularly with SMT enabled, but that was sorta expected with a new architecture launch. Regardless they exceeded the vishera by a long shot not to mention as bios updates, game optimizations, micro code gets updated AMD R7 chips should close the gap on intel chips in gaming giving you even better performance for the dollar. Plus more and more games use 8+ threads something the i5 7500 lacks. Games like BF1 are outpacing every i5 on the market in multiplayer especially. BF1 will take every thread you can through at it. Anyways I feel the FX-8370 lacks the IPC you'd want for gaming, the i5 7500 has the IPC but not the threads all of which points to Ryzen. If you can't afford the R7s then just wait for the R5s to launch if possible.

Much better but PSU is still crap quality. Its not the wattage tat was the problem, its the quality. Take a look at this http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Well Noted for the PS. What about the Motherboard, is it OK?

PSU is not the best as mentioned and since he linked the tier list I won't repeat it. Generally you want a tier 1 or tier 2 PSU. what is your budget?

Lucky_SLS · Mar 4, 2017

i would suggest a h270 mobo with i7 7700. as for psu, seasonic s12II 620w should do the job...
