I am getting an AMD FX-8350, wanting to overclock from 4gHz to atleast 4.5gHz - 5GHz. If you vote 'other' please specify in the comments and also maybe give a short reason why you voted for the one you did. This will really help me out since I am stuck and have to pick one xD  I have on-purposely chosen 990 series motherboards since they are compatible and apparently 'the right type' for the fx 8000 series but I have included other types since they have been suggested to me in the past. Also all the prices are in AUD. 

 

Thanks to everyone who votes or suggests something new, it really does help! :)

I voted other, simply because i use the Msi 970 gaming. It's  pretty solid board.

The Crosshair V formula Z is the best, with the Asus Sabertooth being another option. Also, buying the FX 8350 is like buying an i7 980 that happens to run at 4GHz just FYI.

Don't buy an 8350. Get an i5 6500 instead.

So I notice lots of people saying that the fx8350 is not worth it or it is not that good, I have not researched into it that much but noticed it was cheap and benchmarks out took an i7 so I thought it was perfect. Apparently I was wrong and now I will definitely make sure to take more care into choosing components (which I definitely have for gpu, mobo, psu, case, ect) I guess it was just the cpu that was really hard work so I just took a shortcut. My bad. But by all means please point me in the right direction with some ither good cpus that will pack great performance for gaming and lite productivity work. Thanks for stopping me from making a shitty mistake.:P

I'll say this right now-it didn't manage to beat the old i7 2600K when it came out.

Also stop making gazillion threads about the same question.

But just keep up with your original topic.

Yeah if you just keep track of your original topic.

Then you probably allready could have ordered a motherboard.

Spamming the forum with new topics about the same subject is not how a forum is ment to be used.

I dont want to be bitchy but if you dont keep track of your original topics.

then its not that cool for the people who are trying to be helpfull. ;)
