ik i may upgrade the cpu but which AMD cpu should i have for the 390x ?

 

I would save the money and not invest more into that old platform. keep your CPU until you can either afford an intel i5 with a suitable mobo or wait for the new generation AMD CPUs. If you really, really, really, really want to upgrade, then get an 8350 and OC the shit out of it. But I would only do that, if you can keep the cost for that to a certain minimum. Though OC means you have to have a decent cooler....that way it is more expensive and you could probably already get a simple intel mobo with a mid-range i5 and be better off.

It should support it fine.

The 8320E is already one of the best AMD CPUs that you can get. Look into overclocking it instead. it won't be much of a bottleneck for your 390X. Your Power supply will be more than enough for your build with enough room for overclocks on both CPU and GPU.

who cares...

I have a

 

Power supply = Corsair GS600

CPU = FX 8320E

Mother Board = Crosshair v Formula z

Case = NZXT H440

RAM = Kingstone RAM 16gb

OLD GPU = sapphire 7970 dual-x OC

 

Will my PSU support my 390x?

It will support it yes, but you should consider a CPU upgrade. An i5 4460 will smash an OC'd 8320E.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
