AMD FX or APU in 2017

[Raiyan Ahmed]

Hello guys ...
I want to buy an AMD PC ...
I will just buy after 2-3 months later ...
My selections are ....
Processor - either FX 6300 or A10 7850k ....
RAM - I will buy 2x4GB RAM ( 1866 MHZ) ...
H.D.D/S.S.D - If I choose hdd then i will buy 500GB or if I choose ssd then I will buy 240GB ...
GPU - It depends on my budget but currently I am having sapphire r7 250 2GB GDDR5 128bit....
So my question is , is it ok ??
Please don't tell about Intel ... I am a huge fan of AMD..
Thank u

I wouldn't buy either, wait for Ryzen 3 chips and APU's, you will get more for your money. The new APU's are going to have integrated GPU's around a RX 460 level.

Hi Raiyan,

In 2017 if you want an AMD CPU then you want to buy an AMD Ryzen CPU. AMD FX or a A10 is much weaker than AMD's new Ryzen CPUs. Right now, AMD has 8-core, 6-core and 4-core Ryzen CPUs available. Since you aren't buying for 2-3 months you should wait until then and ask this question again. But I can guarantee you that everyone will tell you to forget the FX and the A10 and go with AMD Ryzen. They are worth it.

Here is a review for AMD's new 6-core Ryzen CPU: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-5-1600x-cpu-review,5014.html

as delaro said, wait to Ryzen 3 or get the cheapest Ryzen 5 (1400). Nowadays makes no sense getting FX or Current APUS, their performance are way behind the zen architecture.

Best regards
