FX-6300 + Asus GTX 760

[konstantine gerasimov]

Hi all!!!
Will this PC handle perfectly with games like Crysis 3 and BF4 on high/ultra settings and other new games on 1920x1080p???
MoBo MSI AMD 970a-G43
CPU: AMD fx-6300 3.5 ghz
GPU: Asus GTX 760 2gb
2x4gb ram 1333 mhz
HDD 1tb 7200rpm

Yes it will do fine.

If you haven't bought yet, I suggest a better motherboard, then an aftermarket cooler so you can bump up to at least 4.0ghz. THG recommends the FX 6300 at minimum for Crysis 3. I don't see ultra happening with that config. High with some of the extra eye candy turned down or off, possibly though.

It will run great.

performance wise the gtx 760 is around the same power as an gtx 670.

Hope to see you on the battlefield!

nope. i already own this MoBo
and my current CPU is fx-4300 and it's really bad in hi-end games. it's bottlenecking gtx 760: cpu is 100% load and gpu is 50-70% load.
won't fx-6300 bottleneck gtx 760?

Lets put it this way it will bottleneck a lot less!

okay, thanx) i am upgrading to fx-6300, because it's not very expensive for me, but fx-8320 is not very good for this mobo and too expensive for me
also i am bying Zalman CNPS5X Performa cpu cooler

Just bare in mind that you can not OC to the max on that boards but a mild overclock will reduce bottleneck if any.

will this mobo be able to oc this cpu to 4.0-4.2 ghz??

 

[rolli59]

Should handle it around 4GHz or at least FX6350 specs.

i have a low end mobo and overclocked 6300 to 4.0 easily with no voltage changes, prime tested stable. If I had a better mobo you can really push this chip a lot higher. I loaded up battlefield 3 last night for the first time and it defaulted to high and was playing great. Also with a 212 EVO cooler, this chip is amazingly cool, mine idles at like 20 C and full load of 39C
