Hello,

I´m buying a processor AMD FX-8350 and XFX Double D HD 7870 1000MHz 2GB GDDR5 FX-787A-CDFC!!! With this 2 products

With these two products was a little expensive and not spend too much for now, I'm thinking of buying a cheaper motherboard (with the same socket AM3 + (Asus AMD AM3 + M5A78L-M LX / BR for example)) for now and then make a upgrade to a motherboard Asus Crosshair V Formula type-Z for example with Chipset 990FX.

My question is if for now use an FX-8350 processor with this cheaper motherboard With no Chipset 990FX , going to work or not? Even if it lose performance, work?

Thank you all.

Marcelo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... 125watt cpu support $60 lol good enough to get by lol It will work great with a non 990fx board, as long a the board supports 125watt cpus like the 8350, on the lower end boards u usually should not overclock but matters on how long u take before getting a 990fx board, id consider a 970 board like a msi or this asus for $95 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
