Question I have a gtx 1060 6gb and a fx 8350 what is the best motherboard i can get and pls dont let it be to expensive

[HASANL]

I have something like 500wwat. Pls help.

Do you already have DDR3 RAM?

I'd sell the 8350 and get an AM4 motherboard/CPU.

I would love to do that but i really dont have to money for it but do you know a motherboard that can handle this specs?

Edit: Also, what country are you in?

The question will become how much you have to pay for such a motherboard. The answer will likely be "too much"

Tnx but how do i know if i need atx or atx micro

 

[TJ Hooker]

Depends on your case, the specs will list the max mobo form factor it supports.

For one that can handle the 125W power draw of the 8350? Most likely.

AM4 boards start at around 50 euros. Of course you'd have to buy DDR4 RAM, and an AM4 CPU, which adds to the cost.

I would assume that it's better to sell the DDR3 RAM and 8350 if possible, and put that plus whatever you were going to spend on an AM3 motherboard into an AM4 platform.


On a separate topic, I am not sure if the 500W power supply you have would be enough. What brand and model number is it?

I dont know the brand but if you send me your number i can send a pic of the piwer suply sry i dont know much about pc's

 

[King_V]

I can't send you my number, I'm using this site from a PC. You can take a photo of the specifications label and post that to a pic-hosting site, then link it here.

I should mention that I can't say how well the motherboard I linked will work with an FX 8350. A lot of cheap AM3+ motherboards struggled to run 125W chips like the 8350, but cheap ones are the only ones left, at least on PCPartPicker.

Asrock 970M Pro3 moederbord does this look like a good motherboard that can handle it?

 

[King_V]

Ah, ok . . I see that the 12V rail only provides 22A. So, this PSU claims to be 500W, but you're only getting 12 x 22 = 264W on the 12V rail from it.

It is trash, I would not trust that power supply at all! I would recommend getting a Seasonic power supply, preferably 550W or higher.

But it didn't fail on me today my pc crashed like 3times because my motherboard was 106degrees and i just bought it for 40 euros but i wil search for a better one after i fixed the motherboard problem

I can maybe MAYBE go for a Cooler Master MWE Bronze 550 PSU

Maybe. According to ASRock it can, but only with a downdraft CPU cooler to provide airflow over the VRM heatsink. https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970M Pro3/#CPU

aw okey and if i buy a ddr4 motherboard can i stil plug my fx 8350 in to it and what else doe i need to change about my pc if i switch to ddr4

 

[TJ Hooker]

To move to ddr4 you'd need a new motherboard and CPU.

O okay tnx then i wont do that, but im stil searchin for a new motherboard that can handle the cpu and gpu is the one i earlyer said good to do that

 

[TJ Hooker]

Not sure. If I google that board model and fx 8350 there are some conflicting opinions on it. Some people say it's not fit for running a 125W chip, others talk about running an 8350 and even overclocking it a bit.
