I already own, and FM2+ Motherboard and I was thinking about doing and upgrade to the cpu, but im not sure whether to buy the X4 860k or buy and i3 6100 + mother board + 8gb of ram, since it would be significantly cheaper to just buy the 860k, I am looking to use this with my R7 370, and to play games such as Battlefield 1, FSX, the witcher, and overwatch (though I dont really need them to run a max settings, medium would be fine)
 
Solution
X4 860K is enough to power the R7 370, you might want to overclock it a little, if you have no plan to overclock then get the X4 845, it costs less and have almost same performance.


Thank you very much 😀
 

Are you sure? I've seen quite a few videos with the 860k and the R7 370 paired up and it looks like it is enough for ~medium settings at ~40 fps, here's a video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfE4QQAxF0s
 


Ah well thank you, i'll see what I can do.
