Will AM3+ be outdated soon?

I would think it that the 6350 with a cheap 990 fx mobo should be good till the next release of CPUs and sockets. Also with gaming the more important thing is a graphics cards. Soo I would say get the most expensive graphics card you can get with the CPU mono combo above. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. Because even if they come out with new cpus they will update the chipsets too which still means a new mobo

partialy right, the FX-6350 is not worth the price you pay it's basicaly a FX-6300 slightly overclocked, better get the FX-6300 and overclock it yourself, also a 990FX board is not needed, a descent quality 970 chipset will do just fine for that...but you are correct, more money on a better GPU is always a better idea...and BTW guys forget about pentium's i test myself by disabling cores and HT and MANY games struggle...even overclocked.

Problem is the Pentium G3258 performs terrible at stock clocks, and I assume he doesn't want to overclock. He would be better off investing a bit more for the i3-4150.

 

Yes probably.

 

People jsut need more balls and overclock their stuff, that's what they paid for. Or not... i mean overclocking is free, that's why it's awesome.

Guess I'll have to do a lot more research on overclocking. I probably won't go crazy with it though because I don't plan on spending too much on cooling solutions. I also want longevity in this computer as well but I wouldn't mind tinkering a bit with the overclock. I won't start till I can get a hard drive to put modern titles since I'll only be keeping GunZ and GunZ 2 on a small ssd I plan to buy. Dat feel when GunZ is one of the only games where overclocking messes with the gameplay mechanics and is illegal. GG T.T

 

 

All the feedback is much appreciated

The problem is by the time you buy even a cheap Hyper 212 EVO to cool the chip. It's only a few bucks short of buying the i3-4150 and running the stock cooler. In which case destroys the Pentium G3258 even when the Pentium is overclocked to 4.6 GHz. So in all honesty, the i3 is the better route period. It will destroy the G3258 even with the Pentium overclocked balls to the walls.

cpu upgrades are not worth it in 2014 anyway so dont worry about chipset support , by the time its worth replaceing a cpu you'd want to be replaceing the main board anyway. GPU's are the only gaming hardware thats worth upgrading outside of 5 years.
