Best AM3 Socket CPU?

Alexander_96 · Jun 4, 2017

Building a budget rig and only have $160 to do it, found a board with ram included, AM3 socket $80, need the best or close to the best AM3 socket CPU money can buy. Don't try to get me to buy something else i barely have any money and im already buying ebay.

Look for an FX 6300

I assume you already have a video card? Am3 CPUs don't have built in video and the video on the board is typically capable of Internet browsing only

Buying parts separately costs more. You should be able to find a whole pc with a i5 2500 that will be a lot better performance.

AM3 OR AM3+?

I wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't within your budget.

Walmart refurbished computers have great deals occasionally.
Ebay has lots of old complete computers for sale cheap, especially in the business refurbished class.I5 2300and 2400 are very common,2500 are a little more rare and more expensive.

i5-3340 $ 170 worth the extra 10 bucks.
