What FPS would I get in CSGO with this



I would say i'm the perfect man to answer your question!
I've been playing CS:GO veteran and know a lot of people with custom builds and the fps they get.
I personally get 380 FPS stable on a 900P monitor with all settings maxed but the AA and Filters off.

CS:GO is highly dependent on CPU power.

I would recommend to right click cs go ---> properties ---> Set launch options and type in -threads 8
This will help CS:GO to utilize the multiple cores you have.

However CS:GO is not known to utilize more than 4 threads/cores.
With that build i would expect a minimum of 200FPS on average on a 1080P monitor.

After a decent overclock, even an average of 250FPS+ should be achievable.
 


On this build I am currently getting 180-190 which is a problem because I play with 144hz so I need to extra fps. Do you recommend overclocking? I pretty much have all my settings on low in-game.
 


I was getting 250+ before upgrading to windows 10. What is a better motherboard for overclocking or is it cheaper just to buy a new CPU.?
 


Hmm ... those results are quite disappointing because i know someone with a G3258 + R7 260X with similar results. Another reason why the FX series are not recommended for gaming.

Alright so there are a few things that will help.
1. Overclocking CPU
2. Use my launch options, i modified it a bit to match your system:
-high -novid -tickrate 128 -threads 8 -nojoy -no3d9ex -freq 144 -refreshrate 144
3. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=322206521

Just to clear things up tiny voices, in the cs go community even if you have a 60 hz monitor if you have a very high fps you get milliseconds faster response time which results in smoother game play and faster reaction time.
I can personally feel the difference from 150FPS to 300FPS even on a 60 hz monitor.
 
Honestly even buying an i3 would be better than the 8350. CS:GO is single threaded, meaning 7 of your 8 cores aren't helping at all.

An i3 is WAY WAY stronger per-core than the AMD FX CPUs are.

Your best bet for better FPS in CS:GO would be to get an i3 4170 and an h97 motherboard.

Just to be sure, what is your GPU usage in game?
 


CS:GO does use more threads than 1, usually 3 to 4.
Also CS:GO is a game that loves that single core power.

My stock i5 4690K 3.5 Ghz runs CS:GO around 250FPS~320FPS, as you can see the FPS is unstable
I overclocked it to 4.7 Ghz, gives me around 380FPS~420FPS, as you can see it's much more stable
I downclocked it because i felt no need to go that far to 4.6 Ghz, gives me around 370FPS~390FPS

In the mean time use the ways i stated on a reply above. Also you can wait for the skylake i3 if you want to.
 






I already use those launch options and my drivers are up to date. Do you recommend overclocking with my system? According to tiny voices my computer is bad for overclocking or something. I don't have much money to upgrade anything right now let alone replace.

 


I don't think tiny voices said that...
I would recommend it if your motherboard was decent, however it is very entry level and is not recommended for overclocking.

However you can try overclocking your GPU even though it may not result in a great performance boost.

How much is a "decent motherboard"? I am also confused because you said my motherboard is not recommended for overclocking but you said I could try overclocking my GPU? I have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to overclocking obviously so if I said something totally stupid sorry.
 


Overclocking the CPU is done by the motherboard increasing the voltage and the speed of the CPU. Thus the motherboard needs to have quality components and solid build quality including good heatsinks on the motherboard.

Overclocking the GPU is basically done by the GPU alone, the motherboard's quality will not affect.

Something like this would be the minimum you are looking for when you want a mild overclock

So I can try out your guide and be fine right? Double checking
 


GPU Overclocking? Use my guide.
CPU Overclocking? Not recommended until you get a good cooler and a good motherboard.
