Hi! I want to assemble a new gaming system. I have bought the other components but I am stuck on the CPU, GPU and motherboard. I want the best suggestions based on the criteria below:

1.Motherboard which will allow me to use the latest amd fx processor and which I can use for two years with no problems. My budget is within 165usd.

2.Which one to buy.between FX-8320 and FX-8350 or FX-6300 to save some money and to spend it on a better GPU.

3.A good GPU which will be able to play the games of the next two years atleast at medium settings and Watch Dogs at high settings with smooth frame rates. My budget is between 164 usd to 330 usd.

The suggestions should be such that it should run watch dogs at 1080p with smooth frame rates.

I am from India and I am going to buy from India only. The online sites for buying in India are :

1. Flipkart.com
2. Amazon.in
3. Snapdeal.com
4. Ebay.

Thank You,

i just saw your post go then with 8320or8350-Asus gtx760 and ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0-M5A97X EVO R2.0
 


Thanks for the suggestions. What about pairing a FX-6300 with gtx 760 2gb AMP edition. Will there be any bottleneck
 


no there will be no bottleneck its all good to go try saving up some more and go for 8320-8350 that is little better purchase with CM hyper 212 EVO and Arctic MX-4 paste i got my 8350 to 4.6Ghz very nice result also with Asus GTX760
 


well I will not oc anything for the time being. How many FPS will it give me in watch dogs and will I be able to play gta v and future games at ultra or high settings
 


nothing is future proof but you will probably be safe for another 2-3yrs with the GPU but for CPU im not sure
 


so what cpu are you suggesting
 


i whould go with 8320 its a downclocked 8350 and a price is little better if you want you can OC it in future to give you same performance like 8350 whould give you but you need to have a good mobo something like gigabyte ud3 990fx or asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 or M5A97 EVO R2.0 the gigabyte has 8+2 power phase and Asus has 6+2 phase i really dont know a difference but it didnt stoped me from OC'ing to 4.6GHz with 1.381V on Vcore i own Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0
 


or if you dont want to OC at all you can allways take a look at non K series from intel something like i5 4670 or something like that and some H87 or H97
