i was planning to get an FX 8350 and MSI 970 Pro motherboard, 8GB DDR3, but im wondering, what's the best and cheapest CPU/Motherboard combo for my 1050? To be exact, an MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Gaming X 2G(NOT 1050Ti). I want the fastest performance i can, whilst staying under 300 euros(if possible, if not, ill get an 8350 anyway cuz amd3plus motherboard+8350 cpu+8gb g.skill ram tops up at 309 euros.)

Thanks in advance, and no, im not an AMD fanboy, i wanted an i5-4460 but i found the FX 8350 was cheaper to get with motherboard and ram and it was faster, too.

an 8350 is not faster than a i5 4460


am3 is obsolete, a dead end

If you are going to buy an AMD CPU, wait for the Ryzen 1400(X) 4-5 months from now. That will be much faster than any FX ever made and far more power-efficient.

With the FX-8350 getting beat by the i3 in many gaming benchmarks, I wouldn't consider it an 'upgrade' for an i5.
