Is the fx 8350 that bad

needhelp1111111 · Nov 7, 2018

I don’t want intel fanboys but people who have used it and want them to tell me if it’s good for games such as:
Rainbow six siege
Fortnite
Csgo

I have a 1060 btw
I don’t care for bottle neck 60 FPS and above is good

I’ve had people tell me it’s not good and if your on a budget get an i3 but to me they seem the same

Yeah, for those games, fx 8350 is good enough. However, if you are buying it new, Ryzen will be a better choice. Budget and country? Any owned components other than GPU?

Right now I have the a6 7400k a 500 watt psu 80+ and fm2+ mobo and 2x4 DDR3 ram don’t know make and I’m from uk

Yeah, FX series is AM3+ and I believe AM3+ MB is not cheap due to extinction. Budget on the upgrades? PSU model?

needhelp1111111 · Nov 7, 2018

EVGA and mobos am unsure about but I think would be good am3+ mobo as I have DDR3 so it would work

vapour · Nov 7, 2018

how much money do you want to spend for the upgrades?

Around 200

If you can spare a little bit more, get 2200G and ask seller of B350 MB to upgrade BIOS for you.

Yes if your upgrading now don't go to the FX series they are not "bad" just old, and the have a lower single thread rating which in games (most older games) that aren't multi core optimized they can preform worst than an I3. So as suggested what is your budget ?

Thank you this will be good plus prices on Black Friday will hopefully be cheaper

Its not that its BAD per say, its just outdated, and for the price you would pay for it (new) you can build an i3 or Ryzen 3 based system that would eat it for lunch.
