GTX 760 and AMD ??? cpu

[FizzGigg]

Hi guys,

 

I'm on a budget build here and was wondering what do you think the cheapest Amd processor is that will work well with a GTX 760.

[Parasyte]

My guess would probably be the FX-6300.  Best bang for your buck.

[M-ursu]

You will be fine whit FX-4100

Unless you need Shadow play or some other Nvidia technology you should get the 7950 instead. It performs better than the 760. An FX 6300 is a great CPU but an 8320 is not that much more and offers a compelling value.

dont go for the X100 of amd fx series...get the X300 or X350.....i would say get a fx-6350......

Unfortunatley I do want shadow play

The FX 6300 is a great chip for the price its what i recommend to anyone looking for great gaming on a budget

price performance :
1. 8320

2. 6300

3. 8350

 

if you are going with 4 core amd, that is bad, if future games need more, you will end up with 4 slow cores, much slower than intel

Don't forget the 750K and 965BE for the even cheaper end.

my god, its not hard to choose...get the fx-6350....its a really good cpu for gaming and will run just fine...it'll even handle your everyday other tasks just fine....it'll even handle two gtx 760s fine so youve always got that upgradability....if you get a 4100 you will be bottlenecked....that thing is like the slowest fx processor....

Thanks guys, all these answers are brilliant and I now feel confident on which one to choose now. I'll probably go for the 6350 because I will use up the extra cores and you guys say the that it's suitable and worth it.

 

I also like the idea of it's upgrade-ability to the dual 760's. 

 

This was a great help, Thanks.

By the way if I did want to upgrade to a dual 760 config, which wattage of power supply would you recommend.

A good 650w will be sufficient. 

[Anubikai]

That^ =) this should work just fine

It's a blue themed build so what do you think about the Corsair GS700.

[Anubikai]

that will work just fine

If you plan to sli, sure. Otherwise, any decent 500w would be sufficient.

Thanks guys.
