R9 390 with FX 6300

[TurnipMaster]

So my current PC has a 630 W PSU, a GTX 760 from EVGA, and an FX 6300. And i want to play GTA V at max settings and the 2gb 760 doesn't do it. And I know a 6300 will bottle neck an R9 390 but if i upgrade my CPU it wont solve the problem. Any ideas?

Upgrade your CPU and GPU at the same time.

[don_svetlio]

which exact 630W? if Thermaltake change it

[Grunilg]

It will probably run with your FX-6300, but in my case i experienced a 40%-Performanceloss to a "proper" CPU like a 4790k or 6700k (to be implemented in my Rig soon).

Your CPU won't bottleneck it hardly at all if you OC it to around 4.2Ghz. Though, I would consider saving up for a new CPU after you buy your new GPU anyways.

That CPU will not do you well.  If you want nice performance it is important to go at least to an i5-4460 + B85 mobo which will work very well with a 390..

I have a budget of around 500 for both CPU and GPU. thinking 4460/6500 maybe?

How are you going to get a 390, and replace your motherboard, CPU, and Ram for 500?

why ram?

its 35 bucks over budget but well worth it

There are ddr3 z170 mobos...

I know, but why would you buy Skylake to use DDR3 ram?

[TurnipMaster]

thanks mohenjo

Seattle!

also i dont need new ram. I dont have to go DDR4

If you buy a Skylake processor, you "should" go with DDR4. Intel advises the use of DDR4 or DDR3L ram, and no one know the effects the extra voltage will cause on the CPU. But with love and respect, it's *expletive deleted* to buy a Skylake processor and not take advantage of the MAJOR advantage of a Skylake processor. As Mohenjo wisely advised go Haswell.
