FX 8320 upgrade worth it

[suryashekhar das]

Hello Guys! I really need your help on this. I am planning to buy a FX-8320 but honestly i dont know if it is worth an upgrade.

My current PC Specs

Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 [ i dont know if this board is going to support and oc'd 8320 125w]

FX-4100 ( 4.5GHZ)

GTX 660 TI

6GB DDR3 RAM

1 TB + 500GB HDD

till date i havent faced any problems with this psu. my new 660ti is working just fine 😀

Cooler Master Thunder 500W [ i dont know if this psu would work or not with a new 8320 oc ]

I have 380 dollars ( RS. 23000) with me and i will be spending it on 8320 ( if you recommend) , a 750w Psu( if you guys think this psu wont work) and a G46 mobo ( if necessary). It all depends on guys.

I can only buy the psu from here : http://www.flipkart.com/computers/computer-components/power-supply-units/pr?p%5B%5D=facets.price_range%255B%255D%3DRs.%2B5001%2B-%2BRs.%2B10000&p%5B%5D=sort%3Dprice_asc&sid=6bo%2Cg0i%2Cqbk&q=smps&ref=e7917849-74c0-4c50-b334-ac1071d706f

games i usually play : GRFS , BLACKLIST ,ABSOLUTION, XCOM ENEMY WITHIN , DE : HR, TOMB RAIDER 2013, ARKHAM ORIGINS, WITCHER 2 , AND WATCH DOGS

Keep Posting guys. Thanks for me helping me out

no, for the small amount of performance you'll gain.......................... save your money. buy a new platform in a year or 2.

Yep - its worth it. Crappy power supply though.

You should look at the recomended pc specs for your games - especially Watch Dogs.

for $380 you can buy a way faster Intel quad core and decent motherboard. that would leave both those amd processors in the dust........... NO, don't buy that processor.

 

[suryashekhar das]

Yes but i will buy a intel processor only if a buy a new motherboard. If this motherboard can support a 8320, i dont think i will spend my money on a new motherboard.

In india i have only the following processors available


I3 2125
I5 3450
I3 4330
I3 4340
I5 4440
FX 8320
FX 8350
FX 6300
FX 4300
