Hi, i would like to build my second pc, and I would question if: is there a difference between fx 6300 and fx 8300(or athlon x4 880k,bcs best ipc, or phenom ii x6's, or anything in this price range.. Main focus is fx 6300) in games if the gpu is slightly bottlenecking? It's an HD 7750 overclocked to 7770 performance, basically an r7 260(i own the record at hd 7750 at userbenchmark)(games like csgo lol gta v pugb etcetc). I would use latest bios and nothing running in the background (razer cortex)...

And, one little question. I tested the gpu under full, heavy work(yea, with a low cpu) and it get to 100°C, at 101 i closed the game. In the new case i will have better cooling, even the room temp was high, but is 100°C overkill? (from 800core clock to stable 1185(1200 stable is bench but not in games, not enough power from mobo))

*until someone question, no, i won't buy moneyhungry intel anymore*

100c is very bad, I would say max you should let it go is 85c on a GPU. You may need to reapply thermal paste as that is an older video card. the difference between the fx 6300 and fx 8300 is that the 8300 has two additional CPU threads. (six threads vs 8 threads.) Either of these CPUs should not bottleneck an hd 7750, as these video cards and CPUs are from around the same generation, I would say they would make a good pair together. (Though all of this hardware described is outdated by todays gaming standards)

You wont have to go intel to get an upgrade as AMD Ryzen has arrived and is very competitive, especially price to performance. Keep this in mind.

Thanks for all of your. Sadly, ryzen is too much, and I can't find anymore a good fx 8 cpu/mobo/ram combo. I just wanted to know if i would see huge differences between these 2 cpus(I'm an overclocker/modder, i would use that 6300 at max potential, and i can modify games/windows to run how i like). About that gpu... I will clean out, make more space and better ventilation... If it wouldn't stay cool, change pasta. Thanks for the quick responses!
