Hello everyone I am a semi noob at rig building. I will list the components and my intentions and hope for any feedback.

I need a motherboard upgrade my requirement for it is :
Am3+ socket
Sli support
Overclocking feature

Current system specs
8gb ram ddr3 (will upgrade soon I believe 1333mhz speed)
Single gtx 770 (want to run dual)
Amd phenom ii x6 1055t (will upgrade to fx series soon and yes I'm aware of bottleneck I just gonna piece it bit by bit)
And 850w power supply (medium grade)

Please recommend any suitable motherboard thank you.

Recommend forget about the AM3+ system, don't waste any money on that ( AM3+ MB or any FX series cpu). If you have budget, or save more money then go for the AMD Ryzen cpu+ AM4 MB+ DDR4 RAM.

You are kidding right? The whole FX series are obsolete and weak by modern standards and don’t do well in modern games. Sli support in games has been in decline for years and when supported the scaling is usually poor. This sounds like a big waste of money that would be better spent on upgrading to a modern setup.

Even they are free, I still will think twice before I take them. By the way I know you mean the cpu is fx 8350 instead of the 8350k.

Nah. FX are not too weak. Even fx 6300 can handle any latest games without any problem. Exepted "call of duty world war 2."


FX are good processors. Even I have 3 pc's 1 Pc is based on FX 4300 and I can play Call of duty infinity warfare on it at high settings. With gtx 1050ti OC.

Better with FX 6300 buy that FX 6300.

We will have to agree to disagree. People have been leaving the FX series for several years due to unsatisfactory gaming performance. Here is a benchmark of Fallout 4 (2+ year old game) and even the top end FX9590 sees big fps drops.

FO4 is not good at utilizing multiple cores, like a lot of other games.
