Should i get fx 9590

[johnfergo1874]

i have a fx 8350, 8gb ram and r9 280x short on money atm so cant get a whole new pc is it worth the upgrade ? I will be playing cpu intensive games like arma 3 etc

honestly.. the 9590 is not that much faster.. and really not worth th emoney... Try make do with what you've got till you can upgrade the whole rig... maybe you could OC it by any chance?

i have it at 4.5ghz and cant make it any faster i guess i will just save up and get one of the new ryzen 5 cpus a new gpu etc

FX 9xxx series cpus are basically 8xxx series with unstable overclocks.
They CAN be tamed... but are not for beginners.

The FX 9xxx should just be avoided. The 9590 is just a very poorly factory overclocked 8350, don't waste your money on one.

i was talking strictly within your choices. but if your current CPU cant do much more.. then there really is not much reason to ge tthe 9xxx AMD (unless it's 15$ or so).

I would personally suggest for you to go intel. This is because a lot of games work better with faster frequency processors, and by the time you will be upgrading, most likely the H3xx motherboads will be out. You could even get an i3-8th gen for that matter (4 core). Of course AMD offers good Price/perofmrance but they are hardly anything to opt for in gaming situations, Intel rules that spectrum, AMD is a better workstation CPU (but, no, I am not ruling out gaming, it's just a general suggestion)

ddr4 ram prices are whats putting me off upgrading i will just have to stick by what i have and get a whole new system as it will be worth it in the long run thanks

yeah.. it's terrible... but this is where we are today, can't do much about it. But I would suggest that if you are working on building a "budget system" you should check what is the lower MHZ ram recommended and get a budget kit of that ram, Most of the ram is actually fairly close to real world performance, but the most expensive ram has heat spreader heatsinks. No, this does not specify all differences betwen the two, but it's just a major one, which is not worth paying premium buck for the mainstream brand. So take some Budget ram and you'll be better off on your system.

You could also look into seeing if you could land a 3rd or 4th generation i7 and board. It would be second hand but would allow you to keep your ram. Really though, even a ryzen 3 and b350 board will be better than your 8350 in my opinion. The 280 will do ok for a little while. As it's still about the speeds of a 1050ti. So it would do fine until you can afford an upgrade. Sell off your old parts though. You'd be surprised what you can get for the old ram and 8350 from others who are upgrading older systems. But if you were set on keeping your ram, how about this for example?

That should do ok for another 2-3 years anyway. But upgrade to 16gb as soon as you can, reuse the 280x, then upgrade it later. After that start saving for newer CPU/board.
