Amd FX-6300 and performance.

[andrew24wow]

Hello fellow computer experts, I have a really important question about the amd fx-6300. Will it do good with and 6870 and will it run most games like medium to high?(GTAIV,GTAV,DAYZ,Etc.) I already bought it and I am just wondering what I should expect, Also I plan on overclocking this to at least 4.1GHZ, Thank you for your time!
Other Specs:
-8gb ddr3 1600mhz
-1tb 7200RPM
-Msi 970-g46
Thanks again!

it is fine for a 6870. most games medium-high detail at 1080p. although if it were me i'd spend the extra on a 2gb 7850.

Ya I would but it got some bad reviews and couldn't run games Idk it was really weird for such a beefy gpu.

It will be fine at those settings with the 6870.

i havnt seen a bad review of it. and i have read about 6 from different sites. There have been diver revisions since its release and its recommended by the experts at toms as best for its price point.

It is actually okay. AMD has finally made some 'okay' gaming CPUs.

It will do fine for your GPU. I would at least up to Radeon 7850 or a GTX 660, so you're sure to get some great value and performance.
