Would this rig be good for gaming?

AMD FX-8350
ASUS M5A88-M
Corsair Vengeance 8GB Dual Channel (2x4GB)
Zotac GTX 650 Ti AMP! Edition 2GB
Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD
Corsair GS700
Antec DF-85 Full Tower


As I have never used the FX-8350 processor I wonder if it would rock in my games... What would be its physics score in 3DMark11?

I need answers from CPU Experts only those who have used this processor....

Sounds good, I just installed this CPU. Having a clock issue. Sure the experts will sort it out

What is your budget? At the very least I would go with an FX 8320 and use the money saved vs the 8350 and buy a better GPU.

There are some cheaper 880G chipset opitons than that MoBo that are just as good IMO.
That being said, drop down the 8350 to the 8320 and definately spend that money back on the GPU.

See first of all I need a motherboard in which I can overclock and I need PCIe 3.0 for graphics card... and budget for motherboard would be $162.27 .... Okay and I asked what would be physics test FPS in 3DMark11... And that GPU was bought recently so no need for new GPU right now...

You don't need PCI-E 3.0. Only reason 3.0 would be probably necessary is for CF 290x's.

Hmm thanks all...
