Hello people ,
Here is my current spec :
Mobo : ASUS M5A99X
GPU : SAPPHIRE 7850 OC (2GB)
CPU : AMD Phenom x4 965 BE - Hydro h75 cooler
PSU : 650 W
So this is briefly my current spec .
The question is , what should I upgrade first ?
My GPU is kinda OK-ish i guess and I think the CPU is bottlenecking it a bit . This PC was built for gaming and I want it to be able to handle new games on high setting at stable 60fps .
So if am right , and my main goal should be to upgrade my CPU , which one should i get ?
I am choosing between FX 6300 / 8300 / 8350 .
There is some confusion for me , and so I will try to ask in way , so you guys can hopefuly understand me .
In case 8300 vs 8350 , there is only difference in base clock right ? 3.3 vs 4 ghz . But there is something called max cpu frequency and that is up to 4.2 ghz on both . So my question is , how does this work ? Does it only mean that 8300 can run on lower clock speed , thus taking lower energy and if needed , it is boosted automatically up to 4.2 ? If so , isn't 8300 superior then ?
Also my next question aims to gaming . As games theese days are still more depndant on single core speed than having access to multiple cores , isnt it better to get 6 core ? In this case it's battle between 6300 vs 8300 , 3.9 vs 3.3 Ghz .
I just still can't decide about this. Please , help me guys .
