HEy guys, hows it going.
Im building my first PC and i was stuck on waht CPU i should get... Im currently thinking of getting the Phenom II x4 965 after swtiching from originally getting the FX-4100 and hearing that its bad for gaming and appearatnly nulldozer cant play some games? I dont want this happening on my first build. Im going to be getting the GIgabyte Radeon HD 7870 2Gb and came here to ask you guys what the best thing i should do in terms of getting the most FPS? I want to stick with an AMD cpu because the mobo i have planned is an AMD mobo and Intel's are expensive! Im looking for at least a good AMD cpu for under 200$. Do you guys think i should get the 965 and OC it? Im also planning on getting the Cooler Master Hyper 212 heatsink to go with whatever cpu im grabbing. Overclocking kind of scares me at the thought of burning a hole in my cpu... Plus, i've never Oc'd before. haha.
Much feedback is appreciated! I just need people to point me in the right direction and get a good AMD combo with my 7870! Thanks!
