I have an LGA1156 socket and i have an intel i3 530 core in it and i want to upgrade to AMD fx-8300 , in amd support it says an amd fx-8300 can run on AM3+ sockets but i really don't know much about this. pls help

HACKER4 · Oct 19, 2017

if i can't upgrade that then please recommed me a good 8 core processor thats works on LGA1156

You need a new motherboard for the FX. There is no 8 core CPU for your socket unfortunately. Get a am3+ socket motherboard. you can get them for $50.

Do NOT upgrade to a five year old and dead platform. Why do you need an 8-Core processor?

Hmm.. i just want a good cpu for gaming games im aiming to play is like WW2 farcry 5 just cause 3, most new high-end graphics and im not really looking to pay something very expensive i can pay up to $100-150 , BTW pls not going offtopic but does any graphic card run on any motherboard ? im looking to install 1050Ti 4gb evga soon

8 cores doesn't mean good for gaming all the time, its other stuff in the cpu that also matters, cache, and bus speeds ,ETC. IF you dont wanna upgrade mobo and get the best cpu for yours heres a link for a cpu that would get the best preformance for your mobo https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i7-860-SLBJJ-Quad-core/dp/B00PXSWK52/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1508436723&sr=8-2&keywords=LGA1156+cpu

And you wouldnt have any bottlencek issues with your 1050ti

junii421 · Oct 19, 2017

But if I was you I wouldn't waste any more money on that mobo or socket, and just go with am4 or am3+

ohiou_grad_2006 · Oct 19, 2017

If you go for the i7 860, that's still a very old processor. I would certainly consider if your board supports it, spending time researching and maybe overclock the i7.

ohiou_grad_2006 :

I agree with him

HACKER4 · Oct 19, 2017

i7 860 is about 300$ here, not being poor but its really a bad cpu for a 300 ,
okay what i think ill do

New am3+ mobo with
amd fx-8300
but the question would an am3+ accept gtx 1050ti 4gb,
if u know any good budget mobo that accepts the cpu and gpu then.. i'd be pleased xD

ohiou_grad_2006 · Oct 19, 2017

Honestly, the am3+ platform isn't really worth investing in at this point. Marc look Kat a ryzen 3 1200, board and ram depending how much they cost. If that's not feasible, maybe see what a newer i5, board and ram would cost. Or see if you can pick up some used parts.

HACKER4 · Oct 19, 2017

So i think i should just upgrade my overall pc into new one ? can someone list me a good pc for between $500-200
and can someone as well explain why wouldn't amd fx8300 be as good as I7 , kind of confusing and i really want to thank everyone who helped me

ohiou_grad_2006 · Oct 19, 2017

Not a problem about the FX cpu. The FX cpus just don't have nearly as good single core performance as intel. However, the new Ryzen chips are much better on that front. The FX chips could multitask, but their weaker single core performance made them not as great for gaming. They are just older tech now and should be avoided if you are buying a new system.

junii421 · Oct 20, 2017

I would go with the FX it is a great budget system and it will work with a 1050ti 4gb.

ohiou_grad_2006 · Oct 20, 2017

I would only go with FX if you just simply can't afford anything else. However almost any i5, i7 even a lot of i3's and Ryzen cpus from AMD will be far better. FX is 5-6 year old tech at this point and you really should not be building a system with FX unless you happen to have old parts sitting around or you can get them dirt cheap second hand.

maybe try to find an old ivy/sandybridge i5 prebuilt. they seems to be decent for the price. i saw an i7 2600 8gb ram and a motherboard for £150. just look for some good 2nd hand deals. unless you wanna get a g4560 system then upgrade later down the line.

ohiou_grad_2006 · Oct 20, 2017

In fact sometimes at least in the USA you can pick up oops Dell optiplex office systems with an older i5 or i7 for around 200 bucks. If you could pick up a deal like that and swap your old parts into it that would be a decent upgrade too.

ohiou_grad_2006 :

psu , and chassis may not be large enough to accommodate a gpu

HACKER4 · Oct 20, 2017

alright i read everyone opinion thanks everyone i think im just gonna save till i get a decent pc then i will comeback with new article about what i should get , thanks everyone i really don't know how to pick every answer as the best <3

ohiou_grad_2006 · Oct 20, 2017

Satans yin and yang :

not always but you can get something like this one.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-790-MiniTower-i7-2600-3-4Ghz-4GBRAM-500GB-HD-Win7-Missing-Cover-/132341002990?epid=219528940&hash=item1ed02372ee:g:fxEAAOSwaRhZn0WG

The op could toss all his parts in there.

I used to use a system similar to that one at work actually, and you should be able to fit at least a 1050ti or something. A short version of the 1060 should fit as well I would think.
