Hi
My cpu is fx 6300 and my gpu is r7 370. Now i need a motherboard. Someone also suggested i get 2400 mhz ram so if the motherboard supported that also it would be nice. Also as you can see im on a budget build.
There is no need for DDR3 2400 MHz -- the AM3+ FX platform can only "officially" support a maximum of DDR3 1866 MHz.
Even 2133 MHz pushes the limits on a large portion of these chips.
It would be recommended to use DDR3 2400 MHz (or greater) if you were using the "built in" graphics on a FM2+ AMD APU.
This is because the APU uses system memory (DRAM) as video memory (VRAM).
My motherboard recommendations (if you are considering in overclocking)
- MSi 970 Gaming
- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
- ASUS M5A97 (EVO) R2.0 [4+2 heatsinked VRM power phase design]
If you are willing to spend a little bit more
- Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Rev 4.0
- Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 [R5 version is the latest updated model; different from the regular GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 4.0 listed above]
- Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 R5 [R5 version is the latest updated model; different from the regular GA-990FXA-UD5]
- MSi 990FXA Gaming
- ASUS M5A99FX PRO 2.0
- ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 [based on the 990X chipset; middle tier, right in between the 970 and 990FX]
