Will my PC bottleneck?

[unknownindividual]

These are the parts I have except for the 8350 which I will buy depending on the answers. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dPZWpg

 

[comicsansms]

Do you have a mobo already?

[FuzzyYellow]

won't bottleneck, but I wouldn't buy the 8350. go for an i5 4460 instead.

He probs needs it for compatability

well, then get a 6300, because an 8530 won't improve gaming performance in the slightest.

Dude it's more like is your PC going to blow up because of the VRMs and Mosfet overheating on the mATX AM3+ board.

FX 8xxx CPUs aren't designed for mATX boards, you need a 970 or higher.

FX 6xxx is the max you would go in a mATX config.

So fx-6300?

just get this instead, it's better in every way:

as you can see it's even cheaper and you can use the intel heatsink on this one...perfect!

If you already own the AMD motherboard then i would recommend either to sell it and order this i5 and H97 board...or just get the FX-8320 and save some money...overclock it to match the FX-8350 speed...it's easy, but this motherboard isnt meant for FX-83XX...

Go with an AMD FX 6350 if you need an AMD CPU.

 

Also, I'd say get an R9 380.

What are your uses......

I want to upgrade the CPU since I don't game as much but when I do play its medium-high intensity games (GTAV,TF2,etc). So I was hoping that the processor upgrade would help.

Ummm form factor has nothing to do with it, just the chipset and power delivery to the cpu

So would my PC be fine for the job?

I think a whole 3 fps is worth it

I was only quoting him, saying that form factor has nothing to do with a board being high quality or not, link me to the pcppicker you are talking about

that 3 FPS is probably due to the fact that the 8350 is clocked higher, not the extra cores.

Do you understand how mosfet and VRMs work on AM3+ boards...

Form factor is a problem on AM3+ boards when the mATX board has shitty VRMs, mosfets, and poor power delivery that wouldn't handle the CPU.

Try to find a AM3+ mATX board that can handle a FX 8 core properly without it catching on fire....

Your just better off selling the board, since FX is a dead platform..

Honesty unless you need heavy rendering, content creation uses at a cheap price, want ECC ram, there's no point in FX.

Its in the original post.

God no, an 8350 is way better for gaming than a 6300.

[SteveGrabowski0]

Though I don't think I'd put an 8350 on that weak 4+1 board. Might as well just buy an i5 and an H series board instead.

I just said that the FORM FACTOR ITSELF does not effect the quality of a board, but rather the components the manufacturer decides to use. I was not talking about any board or platform in particular, but just the form factor.

both of you are right, there is no good quality mATX AM3+ motherboard and there probably never will be...but sure there could have been, ASUS or gigabyte could have made super awesome 8 or 10 phase digital 990FX mATX boards...but they didn't because this would be a very niche market cause who would like to run a CPU that can pull around 280W from the wall when fully overclocked on such a motherboard...you don't want that in a small form factor machine...a 250W GPU yeah ok that make sense if performance if up there...but for an underperforming outdated CPU?! nobody would want that i guess.
