Hello, experts. I'm here again with a new question. My new system has a XFX R9 270X graphics card. I also have Corsair VS 650 psu for power supply. Now I want to buy a Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 Motherboard
and a AMD FX 9370 processor. Also I want to upgrade my RAM up to 8 GB (I have 6 GB now). My question is, can I power up all these to play Ultra high quality games?????thanks in advance.

I think more people are looking at 9370's because their prices have just dropped. But to run them you need a more expensive 220W capable motherboards and a very good CPU cooler. These more than cancel out any price drops.

AMD also released a new FX8370 and its lower powered cousin the FX8370E. I would highly recommend you using these CPUs instead. And make sure you have a good 990fx motherboard.

I would personally say get a FX-8350 and just overclock it yourself to the speed of the FX-9370. The FX-9370 is basically an overclocked version of ghr FX-8350 if I am not mistaken.

And don't forget if you do prefer the FX-9370, it will overheat a lot. And you will need throw in some cash for a CPU cooler.

DO NOT get the FX9370. It is just a overclocked FX 8350 with a nightmarish thermal threshold(with BARELY better performance). Get the FX 8350/8320/8370E and cooler and overclock it yourself.

You will need a better graphics card to do "Ultra high quality games". Try for a GTX970.

What is your complete budget? Where are you purchasing? Online store? Link?

I do not have much budget friend, My budget is around 35,000 INR ( $450), and as I'm from India.....I do buy from flipkart or Amazon. These are the largest online stores here. So pls tell me considering this criteria. thanks

If there is money left, get a GTX970 or FX-8320, depending on what you can afford.
