FX-6300+1650????

[BIPUStheTHIRD]

Ok so basically I am getting a good deal on a pc parts bundle that includes an fx 6300 as the cpu. I already own a 1650 (shortened) and im going to pair them together. Im sure there will be a bottleneck and the 1650 wont be up to full potential but how much bottleneck?

Wouldn't advise it. I can't say how much it will bottleneck for sure, but the FX 6300 is really not a good processor now days. It also means you're on a platform where basically any upgrade to the CPU will then involve changing the board and RAM too as AM3+ is a dead platform and DDR3's actually getting pretty pricey.

FX6300 is actually a 3 core with SMT/HT and dramaticly low IPC. I shouldn't use it at all.

 

PSU doesn't look decent. What's the make and model of that unit?

That CPU is ass and it's basically a "pseudo-hexacore". I am not sure how much it will bottleneck the 1650, but even a Ryzen 3 1200 is faster than that CPU, so yeah... I really hope you haven't paid that much for that system.

havent bought it yet. roughly 93 dollars but i can reconsider. i already own an i5 2500 but im not sure if its working, so ill get something else. any recommendations ? i have probably 100 GBP which is roughly 140 USD.  I need a motherboard which is lga 1155, which i can risk using my untested i5 2500 or a motherboard + cpu which would be best to use with my 1650. thanks for the help

i5-2500 is way better than FX6300.

untested tho, really high chance that my last pc was broken because of it. really used  and worn too

While AM3+ is a dead platform, since you've got it already I might consider an upgrade to an FX 8350

It was incredibly popular, making it incredbily cheap on the 2nd hand market. 
I used one for about 5 years between my Q6600 and Ryzen 5 1600.

Paired well with a GTX 1660ti, so I see a GTX 1650 doing absolutely fine with it!

That's why I was saying it's useless - it's an offer, he doesn't seem to have that system yet.

The 2500 will be faster if it works.

any recommendations on lga 1155 sandy bridge motherboards?
