FX 8350 a good buy?

[Gabriel1987]

I am planning to buy fx 8350, sorta doubtful if that is a good decision...is it a good cpu?! can i max out games with a good gpu!?

 

[ewok93]

It is a great CPU, you cannot max out games with nothing but a good GPU. You need a good CPU and a good GPU working together. The 8350 is probably the best processor for your money currently. It goes well with a 7970 if you have the money for both.

8350 rocks!
i love mine. and its even got a shitty ol gt 610 lololololol
seriously. the 8350 is a powerhouse beast. it can handle that bf4 no probs while burning a bluray and trafficing some downloads all at once and then some.
do it, get that 8350!

 

[ewok93]

One: Are you thread-stalking me? Haha Two: HOLY BOTTLENECK! But definitely go for the 8350, it is in no way a waste of money.

 

[spyrizzle]

you are thread stalking me.
and no bottle necking at all.
well..maybe the 610 is lame. but cpu? i have not once used it all.

 

[ewok93]

Wait you're saying you're running BF4 on a GT610? Well that speaks for the 8350 on how amazing it is. Please get a new GPU though. GT makes me cry.

 

[spyrizzle]

oh i plan on it.
friday i will order it. and victory shall be mine!
but yes.
8350 eats intel.
i remember the flame wars over 8350 and i5 3570k lol.
look who upgraded?
lols

 

[ewok93]

Yeah, Intel is getting crushed by AMD in BF4 from what I've heard, just because of the number of cores.

 

[spyrizzle]

also the cpu speed. lots of people dont even oc or even turn on turbo boost.
amd is stomping the yard.

 

[ewok93]

Indeed. Poor intel. I'm not an AMD fanboy, but it's obvious it's really outperforming Intel. And by that I mean it is CRUSHING Intel.

ok then, I'll grab fx 8350 for the gpu, do you think r9-280x will be sufficient for 1080p gaming or should i go straight for the beast r9-290x or the none-x?

 

[ewok93]

Get the 290x if it's in your budget, that card is insane.

 

[spyrizzle]

might even be overkill.
but hell, thats a lot of bones for a card.
do you need those 4gigs ram on that video card?
maybe something not so pricey would still do what you need.
maybe

 

[Gabriel1987]

well yes I can, I might be forced to walk to work for a month, but who cares!? :lol: so fx 8350+R9-290x and 8gb of ram, i have 750w bronze certified psu...I am going to max out every single game right!?

 

[ewok93]

Right! I would walk 50 miles to work for a month for that awesome of a video card!

 

[spyrizzle]

oh you will max.
and your enemies shall weep as they put along on their i5's
consider moar ram if you plan to run add ons and stream your gaming to websites such as twitch.tv or record them for posting to youtube.
or maybe im just elitist and love overkill /shrug

 

[ewok93]

Mmmm... overkill...

 

[Gabriel1987]

well thank you both....It's shame i can only choose one best answer!!!

 

[spyrizzle]

I had that issue tonight myself. i was trying to decide who the best answer was.
it sucked to have to decide.
but in the end, ewok is stalking me so i wi by default

 

[spyrizzle]

you're welcome buddy!

 

[ewok93]

Well, I appreciate you choosing me. CPU expert here I come! Good luck on your build, and have fun destroying nubz.
