he isnt wanting to upgrade his graphics card cuz he already has that motherboard, a fx 6300 and 8 fb ram and a tb hard drive but he was rocking the gtx 650 and he wants to go to a 760 but i dont know if that motherboard will run the 760 good or not

It will run fine if the PSU is up to the task

he has a rosewill 630 watt. will that work or should he buy a different one

 

[rolandzhang3]

If it's this one then it should be fine

If he already has it then no need to buy a new one, especially for a single GPU config

hey will an i5 3350 bottleneck a 760?

 

[rolandzhang3]

The 3350P definitely won't be bottlenecking a 760 :lol:

so you would reccomend it for a gaming build with the 760? its in my wifes budget and she wants intel rather then amd even tho i tried to talk her out of it

 

[rolandzhang3]

It's a pretty good value from what I remember, I like the AMD Piledriver chips as well but for most games Intel chips will still perform better given their stronger single cores compared to AMD

if you had to compare the 3350 to a amd what one would you compare it to?

 

[rolandzhang3]

If comparing gaming performance then an overclocked FX-6300
