AMD Athlon 860K - AMD FX 6300 - AMD FX 8350

So i'm making my final build decisions but again still stuck on the cpu..

 

I still doing a 3 - way crossfire 7950 setup so keep that in mind.

 

Each cpu effects the build for the final decision.

 

There are Pros & Cons to each one & Trade off's to each one.

 

I want to be able to run games at 1080p @ 60 Fps for now until I eventually upgrade to 3 way monitor surround.

 

But my main concern is the cpu at the end.

 

Thanks for all the help!

 

I really do appreciate it!

Well these are the parts I have already.

 

Have : Case , PSU , Hard Drive , OS

 

Missing : Motherboard , CPU , Memory & Cooler

 

$400 is whats left in the budget.

3 way Xfire... you need an Intel processor.  At least an i5 otherwise you won't be able to properly feed 3 cards. I think you should scrap the 3 way Xfire idea.  Go with 2 cards and an Intel i5.

You've got options then. You can go this route.

Motherboard: MSI Z97-G55 SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($116.53 @ Amazon) 
Total: $380.50
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Or this route

 
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor  ($139.98 @ NCIX US) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($156.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $410.95

Drop down to the UD3 and the AMD combo goes under the $400 budget. I would suggest the Intel combo for the best performance, but the 8320 can be overclocked to meet the i5 in terms of most gaming performance. It will produce a good amount of heat and power though.

Well Fm2+ platform can't do 3 way xfire I believe...

 

and every other amd solution = instant bottleneck so...

 

i5

Well I did find a X5670 Six Core Xeon but its on the older LGA 1366 and its an Xeon..

just get an i5, investing in an amd platform doesn't make sense right now

 

even less sense with 3 gpus

Overall, it is up to you. Do you feel the extra cores will benefit you or will you mostly be gaming?

I went with the FX 8350 due to getting a good deal at Fry's

In 6 months, when you realize you made a mistake, you remember everyone who told you to go Intel.
