Is the FX-8320 good for gaming?

[Dostya]

Or should I get the FX-8350?

 

[Dostya]

Well I have no life😛

In gaming there should be little to no difference between those chips. You'd need have CPU tasks to see differences. Like Video transcoding.

Here the 6300 is about 3FPS slower then the 8320. It that a lot? Depends on how long the video is.

Do you use photoshop? Can you wait the extra 3secs to apply the effect? Remember that for a business time is money. So sometimes it makes sense to get your people the best (or better) equipment. If this is for home use, you probably won't notice or care.

And finally gaming. I linked this one on purpose because the 6300 is faster then the 8320. I'll include the gaming link so you can see the other games. Overall, most of the AMD CPUs score around the same place. Because when it comes to gaming the CPU isn't quite as important as the GPU. Within reason of course.

How does this look?
And my monitor is 1600X1200, I will not change it until it breaks.
It is more expensive, should I tone it down to GTX 660

I would not get a green drive for your OS. Do you have another or change it? I'm getting my threads mixed up, is CF in your future? If no, drop the PSU down. There aren't really any/many places to cut more. Perhaps someone else has better ideas. Is there a lower CPU available?

How about HDD 3.5" 1TB SEAGATE Barracuda 7200rpm SATA3?
I will probably CF, but in this world nothing is for shure.
The 3470 is only 20 dosh cheaper than the 3570.

I have got one more configuration:
MSI Motherboard Z77A-G43
Cooler Master Case Elite 430 Black
Samsung DVD-RW SATA Black
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium OEM 64-bit
Kingston DDR3-1600 8GB PC3-12800
WD 1TB SATA3 HDD Black
Intel Core i5 3570 3.4GHz
ASUS AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7870 2GB
Cooler Master PSU Silent Pro M2 720W Modular
Is it even better than the last two

 

[4745454b]

Getting there, but I don't like the PSU. 720 is more then you need unless you are going CF, and CM doesn't make the best PSUs all the time. I know they have some good ones, but I'm not sure if that is one of them. If you want a single GPU, any better brand ~500W units? Other then that I didn't see anything bad.

And I can tell from your name that obviously you are impartial. Looks like the flame war is about to start.

Screen names have nothing to do with the price of goats in Africa.

Ok.
I am thinking I will get the 720W one.
You never know, maybe I will get CF, maybe I will not.

 

[4745454b]

Well then good thing we aren't talking about goats.

Only problem is doing a fast web search I didn't see any real reviews on that unit. If it can't really output 720W like some other Coolermaster units, you won't be able to run two cards. It should handle one just fine.

Pros
+ Aesthetically pleasing to the eye
+ Only essential cables hardwired
+ Decent performance
+ Modular cables are very flexible
+ 5 Years warranty

Cons
- Price
- Bronze efficiency

They seem to actually load the PSU in that review. On that basis it should be fine to use that one.

AWESOME!
Now it is time to get on my knees and beg my dad for 50 more dosh.

No real difference between them so get the 8320. I suggest you take another look at the i5 series however. Will be better overall.

Nah, I am a simple gamer.
All I need is a good gaming PC that can run games at a good FPS.
I dont need an I5 or an I7.
I do not have that much money for it.

It does not matter... The FX 8320/8350 destroys all Core i5 and some i7s check out the benchmark on cpubenchmark.net

Wrong. I already posted benchmarks where it can't keep up.
