Hi guys,
I was doing some research into getting a new cpu. I was looking at new and used AMD chips/mobo cause in Ireland they generally seem to be cheaper price to performance and less hassle with upgrading later.
While I was first considering Getting a Ryzen chip and ugrading to the Am4 socket I saw an ad for the fx 9370 pre-owned and the performance upgrade to that from the fx6300 would be fairly noticeable.
My reasoning for this was cause this way I wouldn't have to change ram/mobo/cooler at all and i read that next year a new socket might have to be launched for the next generation of CPU's. So when/If that came out i could then just upgrade to AM4 for decreased pricing.
Considering all this and a tight college student budget, what do you guys recommend I do?
Thanks,
Eoin.
