what amd processors are better then the fx 6200

[manohmanCondeee]

im looking for amd processor around equal to the intel i7 4770k

 

[YourLocal]

Probably the FX 8350

 

[manohmanCondeee]

is it pricy?

Your closest bet is the fx 8320/8350 for something that can perform close to the i7 4770k. But even that difference is still favored toward the i7.

Save your money and upgrade to an intel platform would be my suggestion. If you really want to upgrade, safest upgrade without knowing your motherboard would be the fx 6300 which can stil allow some overclocking.

ive got the asus m597

 

[Calnin]

get a 8320 and a decent air cooler like the 212 evo or something and then overclock it to ~4.2-4.5 and call it good.

 

[manohmanCondeee]

lol i just oprdered the evo. is a 600 watt good for it if im currently using 400 if i get it?

 

[Calnin]

600w is a decent amount, but I suggest getting a quality 600w+ PSU like: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

Make sure the EVO will fit in your case.

 

[manohmanCondeee]

i was just thinking of getting a 800 watt

 

[Calnin]

if you're running a 1 gpu system, 800w is not really needed. If you're not planning on running a multigpu system, there's no need for anything past 650w in my opinion.

 

[manohmanCondeee]

ok. and yes ive looked at the heatsink and it will fit

 

[manohmanCondeee]

but of couse if i wanted liquid cooling and all out id need a 800 or somethin
