can this cpu fit in my motherboard?

[jason_165]

So I have a wa550g from walmart and im already going to upgrade my psu and gpu but I was wondering if the AMD X8 FX-8350 could fit in its motherboard right now i have a FX-4300 and just dosent do. Thank you for your time! also im going to upgrade the psu to exactly 500w one and gpu to 1050 ti will this run gta 5 and overwatch on normal settings with 60 frames?

what mainboard is?

the cpu will fit but work stable is another story, what model of mainboard?

From what I can find your motherboard is limited to 95W thus the 125W 8350 is a bad ideal. This said 8300 is an 8 core 95w for a lower price. Then you can try overclocking to see if the motherboard can handle the higher watt draw. I suggest you add the savings and get the 1060 3GB for GTA 5 if your PSU has a 6pin PCIE power plug..

no go, won't support that cpu properly, the limit mentioned by elbert applies

it can take cpus up to 95 watts but not meant to be used for overclocking

Yup I understand plus that also ends up costing more for RAM as new motherboards only support DDR4 on AM4.
