Can I use AMD FX 8350 for Gaming?

[Rakshas]

Yo Everyone!
I have decided to buy a new (gaming) rig :
1.Corsair 100R
2.AMD FX 8350
3.ASUS M5A78L-M/USB 3/ GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB3 (Better One?)
4.Cooler Master 420 Watt SMPS
5.1TB Seagate (SV 35)(7200)
6.8GB DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 1600/ 8GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX 1866 (Tell me which is better-HyperX is cheaper)

This setup is gioing to cost me INR 31,000 (USD 490).
Is this rig decent enough(if coupled with a good graphic card) to play recent games like BF4? I am not a fussy gamer (sorry!) and I can do with a 50+ fps.
I'll be buying the graphic card later,so do suggest the best one under INR 20,000 (USD 330).

Yeah sure you can. I'm currently using it myself and I have no issues with it whatsoever. It's a cheap alternate to Intel and imo it delivers as expected.

Is the mobo cool? And What should I choose between the two rams?

I'd get another, more up to date motherboard if you could. It only supports 1333mhz stock speed, but you can overclock it to meet the 1600mhz or 1866mhz. Though the easiest is to get a better mobo.

The CPU fits perfectly though.

I would get a R9 290x or GTX 970 gpu, whichever you find the most fitting your budget.

What about GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB3 ?

It's the same case with that motherboard... Where are you buying it exactly? If I knew I could find you a better one.

New Delhi , India (LOL!).

Yes, but at what location do you buy your merchandise, online or at a local store?

I can't really help you too much if it's local, though if you give me a few options I can find the best of the ones you have available.

Nvm, let me google cost to cost 😛

They don't seem to have too many choices, so get the one I have. It's a decent motherboard capable of supporting the 1866mhz RAM.

Gigabyte 970A DS3P.

Been through this scenario with indian members before
On a tight budget I would honestly consider the fx 6300 or at the max the 8320 (the 8350 is not worth the price premium of 30%).
This will allow you to get a better motherboard + a decent quality aftermarket cooler which in India is a necessity IMO.
If you go with an 8 core chip then a good quality motherboard is a must IMO.
The ds3p is OK quality but is really only just capable of running an 8 core at stock speeds.
Also that PSU you listed is nowhere near good enough for running an fx chip & a midrange GPU.

The ASUS M5A78L-M/USB 3/ GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB3 motherboards are fine for the 6 core 6300.
The gigabyte will also allow overclocking a 6 core well past 4ghz at which point it surpasses the 8320/8350 in gaming performance.
Both these boards DO absolutely support 1600mhz ram.
Their downfall is they only have sata 2 - if you ever install a ssd you will not get full speed from it.
I would still go with the ds3p listed above though (be aware 970 series boards do not have integrated graphics so will be unusable until you get a GPU installed)

Yes you can play bf4 with that cpu.

Any intel alternative to 8320 or 8350? If so ,please suggest a suitable motherboard with it.
Also I am planning to buy a dedicated GPU later (3-6 months).So I do need a motherboard with integrated graphics till then.

6300 build (all from flipkart) - no weak component choices - the xigmatek recon is a solid little case with the extra fan fitted. click on pic for full size



i3 build - flipkart again




regarding the gpu - it has to be a 960 mate,will pair with either of these builds well
http://www.flipkart.com/search?q=gtx+960&as=off&as-show=off&otracker=start


both the above have integrated graphics - do not expect to game on them though without a gpu added - for general use/internet/video playback they will work fine.
