Hi, so basically the title says it all, I've been looking at FM2+ CPU's but I'm not sure which one is the best so if anyone of you could tell me which is the best current one for gaming and everyday use that would be great. And also please refrain from telling me that my CPU is not for gaming and I should move to intel etc, I just want to know what is the best CPU currently on the FM2+ socket.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks! -

Athlon x4 880k is the best FM2+ CPU as of the moment... To avoid bottleneck, pair it with mid tier gpu...
R7 360/370
R9 380
RX 460/560
RX470/RX570 (might experience bottleneck if not OC upto 4.5Ghz)

If you opt to pair it with NVDIA
dont go beyond gtx 770/960/1060...

I own one and i'd already paired it with r7 250/370 and r9 380...


The athlon X4 whatever the one with the highest clockspeed that is available to you.

Also I'm a rebel today sooooo...

(*whispers*: get a g4560 it's 2x better than any cpu on that platform for a lower cost than the athlon x4 's)

 


Jaslion is right, but not if you won't be using a dedicated graphics card. If you are however, get a g4560.

 


I assume that because there is being asked for the best cpu that the person already has a gpu as the athlong doesn't have an integrated gpu anyways.
