AMD 8350 Compatibility with AMD Raedon R9 390

[Just_A_Guy_]

Im looking for a motherboard that is compatible with a AMD 8350 CPU with a AMD Raedon R9 390. If anyone could help me that would be great.

Any motherboard with PCI-e 3.0 lanes will suffice.

Am3+ chipsets are pcie 2.0 but it doesn't matter. As long as it fits the case and the psu can handle it, you can run any pcie gpu.

There are a few select boards out there with PCIE 3.0 like the 990fx Sabertooth GEN 3 https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FXGEN3_R20/specifications/
But depending on your country they can be hard to come by. And the extra cost probably wouldnt be worth it. As pcie 3.0 offers little to no performance increase.

May I ask why you would be buying a 8350 in 2016? The CPU is 5 years old now. Would be much better off with a Skylake i5 (even the cheapest one) or a 4th gen i5 if you can get them cheaper

I plan on building a second computer and im still getting myself familiarized with cpus, motherboards, and graphic cards

I too would not recommend a build with an FX CPU in 2016.

Soconded.

OP, I thought you already had the parts..

 

[Just_A_Guy_]

So I scrapped what i thought would work and came up with these parts

Motherboard: MSI Gaming B150 Gaming M3
Cpu: Intel Core i5-6400 6 MB Skylake Quad-Core 2.7 GHz
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB 288-Pin DDR4
Storage: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive
Graphics: MSI Radeon R9 390 DirectX 8G
PSU: EVGA 100-B1-0700-K1 700W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Power Supply
Case: DEEPCOOL TESSERACT SW Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Window and 2 Blue LED Fans SGCC+PLASTIC+RUBBER COATING

Is this a solid build?

 

[Hlsgsz]

Try to get the i5 6500 and an SDD and you're solid.

 

[Just_A_Guy_]

what sdd would you recomend?

 

[Hlsgsz]

850 evo 250 if you can afford it. there are cheaper options if you can't.
Also, that PSU is in the middle of thea road: too much for one 390, but not enough for two. If you plan to go with 2 at some point, you'd want an 850.
If You'll stay wint one, 600w will do http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12ii620bronze

I'd say Crucial for cheap, Samsung for a little more. 850 Evo is a solid inexpensive choice. ~240GB is the sweet spot for me, fits all of my games and programs with room to spare, but YMMV.

 

[Ecky]

I also agree with Hlsgsz's assessment of your chosen power supply. A single 390 + 6700K will not draw anywhere near 500w, much less 750, and I'd argue it's better to get a high quality ~5-600w unit.

Do i really need it? Cause I just added all the prices together and it turns to about $814.93...

 

[Just_A_Guy_]

and i swiitched to a I5-6500 like you said

 

[Hlsgsz]

You always need a good PSU and an SSD.

It's possible to use a computer without a SSD, but they make a tremendous difference in terms of user experience over an old mechanical hard drive. If anything, you could leave out the 1TB drive entirely, and add one down the road if you find you're running out of space.

It's avery good build and well worth the money. If you have it, spend it.
