AMD CPU and APU Help

[QuadNine]

So I am building a computer and want to get the AMD fx 8320, but the AM3+ socket is pretty much dead. I was wondering if there is a CPU or APU in the FM2+ socket with around the same single core or multicore performance?Also please no Intel stuff, unless you can show me an intel product that can do better in multicore and single core than the 8320 for 100$.

[EarthboundHero]

860K will be the best, not sure how it performs to the 8320 though.

an intel product that can do better in multicore and single core than the 8320 for 100$.

Any I3 lol

[EarthboundHero]

If you're just gaming the 860K will be better, lower power consumption, cheaper boards, better OC's, and newer platform. Though it has less cores, so if you're streaming, video editing or anything like that go for the 8320.

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated, I guess I'm going with the 8320.

I'm 100% serious. Any I3 is better

no way, i3 is not better (sometimes in games is simillar, but not in daily work or average performance)

 

I think, you can try 2 ways:

1)APU with HSA support - CPU performance of A10 is average near the core i3 Haswell. SIngle thread is a bit worse, multithread a bit better. But if you have some software with HSA support, its nice speedup. Support of HSA software you can find with google (example Libre office or Corel). There is no plan highed APU for future to FM2+...

 

2)FX-8320/8320E/8350 are great CPUs for the money. Oldschool chipset with external NB and old SB, but multithread performance of FX is very good (average between i5 and i7, depends at software). FXs are great in videoencoding, rendering, extreme megatasking or spcecial virtualization. Daily work is slower than i5/i7, but in practice you will not feel it. FPS games are simillar as with Intel core i5. Single threaded games or some MMORPG are not much optimized and FX dont like these games (perfromance here as i3)...For FX-8000 you must have good board, at least M5A97 R2.0 and if you will some better OC, at least M5A99X EVO or better.

Would this motherboard be a good overclocker for a 8320? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130790&cm_re=msi_gaming_motherboard-_-13-130-790-_-Product

Lmfao, when your being helpful and they think your the bad guy.

Lmfao, when people don't read the question, I said better in multicore AND singlecore, plus the best i3 out there is 20$ more than the 8320

Its average board with VRM, not bad, not awesome.

I never said you needed the best I3. And I read the bloody question, the I3 is better in both than the 8320

That boards a good one, I'm running an 8350 on mine, I know others suggest the gigabyte boards, only downside to it is the software sucks so I wouldn't use it and just stick with the bois

Good day guys.

Im new in building a PC.

which one is better, an old apu with a discrete gpu or a new apu with integrated gpu?

For example, a8 6600k with r6 240/250 vs a10 7850k?

I am building budget rig.

may i know the budget?

 

depending on your budget like less than 400 dollars

 

you will be better off sticking to the A10-7850K and pairing with the fastest possible RAM like 2133MHz or 2400MHz

My budget is 600dollars sir. I also want an fx6300 and msi 970 as a mobo but its hard to find that here in the philippines. Am3 boards and fx series procies are hard to find here.

A store already reserved me an a10 7850 for my procie and asrock a88x extreme 4+.

My budget is 600dollars for my whole build. Inclusive of monitor and casing sir

ok get at least the CM cooler which i link in my previous post as the APU runs quite hot with the stock cooler

 

APU need fast RAM to work well

 

2133MHz or 2400MHz is suggested

 

my build is around 400 so you only need to pick your monitor

use build 1 and opt for 2133MHz RAM

 

I don't think you may need the DVD-RW drive

 

you can install Windows from a USB drive and it faster

I need it sir for my business. Can I overclock the a10 7850? Will it be stable? With my mobo?

[dragoon20005]

yes you can OC but not with the stock cooler

 

go for the CoolerMaster 212 Evo/plus cooler

 

and also pick the 2133MHz RAM

Okay sir. Noted. Thanks a lot. So my future upgrade is a hsf.can it run photoshop and 2k15 smoothly? both at the same time.

Both will run fine but def not both at the same time.
