Whats the best Amd fx Cpu

[mario_0606]

I'm looking to get the fx processors, but they have so many models I don't know which one to choose.
I will be doing some bf3 and skyrim, and basic web browsing and YouTube. I do not want to overclock and I'm not sure if I should choose the 4 core or six core.

I also would like to pair it with this motherboard GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 AM3+ AMD 990FX. Is it good? im looking or a black and blue mobo.

9590, but the 8350 (or 8320, just a slower clock) is a better price/performance ratio.

 

[mario_0606]

I suggest a 7870 with the 6300.

Im probably going to go with the msi 7850. Is that one any good, how does it compare to the 7770

Oh, i really don't want an 8 core.

This is difficult to explain but give it a try! Intel currently is the better CPU maker and for years AMD has been trailing! Here comparison of your 3 generation old I5 with AMD's best FX8350 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/697?vs=288 as you see not good for AMD.

It is much better, but for a bit more you should get a 7870.

My Budget for a gpu is about $150 and i want it to match my setup

 

[ewok93]

Get the 7850 then. And what do you mean you don't want an 8 core?

I don't need an 8 core

But... It helps... Get the 6300 instead then.

Whats the best brand for the 7850? I was thinking id go with sapphire

Asus makes great GPUs, although they are red. You could maybe paint the outer plastic.

Asus gpu's are generally quieter than sapphire gpu's. If noise level is important to you.

are there any mobos that have onboard graphics?

Currently graphics are integrated into the CPU instead of motherboards. The FX-6300 does not have integrated graphics.

 

[rolli59]

There are cheap 760 chipset boards with low power onboard graphics. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/motherboard/#s=4&c=3,4,6,7,12&sort=a7

I use one of these in my home server (it rocks 24/7 with a FX-4300). It is rock solid and would be a decent low cost option if you have no plans for OCing.

I could be wrong but I'm thinking that the integrated ATI Radeon HD 4250 in that motherboard won't run skyrim or bf3 at a playable fps.

That is correct. The HD4250 is really only acceptable for general purpose computing, and certainly not suitable for high-end gaming. Still, you could install a capable GPU (like the previously mentioned HD7850, 7870, various Nvidia offerings) and get very solid performance.

Are you wanting to use onboard graphics instead of a discrete graphics card?

FX6300 is no more current than 2500K!!! It is slower at everything, it only supports PCIe ver 2.0 like the 2500K! So WHY???? What do you use your computer for? If only internet get a pad!

Well for 1 i had bought it off someone and i would like the experience of building one myself. What is current for the fx series?

hold of on your build till january or feburary see what streamroller has to offer plus fx maybe dead motherboard in terms of upgrading

kaveri shows alot of intresting promises hence why i am holding of till next year

For what you want, the FX-6300 will be more than enough. In fact, you don't even need a 990FX motherboard unless you plan on getting an nVidia GPU. The ASRock 970 Pro3 will be more than enough if you're running a Radeon card because it supports full x16/x16 crossfire. On the other hand, if you're completely sold on Gigabyte, just get the GA-990FXA-UD3. That's the board I use with my FX-8350 and twin HD 7970s. It's a perfect gaming board/overclocking board with the only difference being that it only supports 2 video cards. Honestly, very few people even use two, never mind three or four.
