Posted August 19, 2016 I plan to build a pc that uses an am3+ socket. I need as good quality as I can get for around 100 USD or less. My current possible choice is an FX-4350. I plan to run steam games like Garry's Mod, Portal, Kerbal Space Program, and Bioshock Infinite. It doesn't have to run nice at high settings. I just want to be able to play them without extreme lag or other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 19, 2016 Why do you want to go with AMD? Their stuff is ancient at this point. I'd do as others have suggested and go LGA1150. Are you looking for budget? New or used? I picked up a new in box i3 4150 ages ago for $75. It'd destroy the 4350.

Posted August 19, 2016 Well, I am making a 200 dollar (approximately) very not good pc. I have a 240 dollar budget. I have chosen am3+ and I am the kind of awful person that will not be persuaded. I'm sorry. I want new cpu. Used frightens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause they require/like 4 threads minimum (as in Far cry 4 won't even launch with dual cores) so the 4 "actual" cores of the FX chips allows better performance vs the 2 real cores and 2 HT threads of the i3 Looking at my signature are we now?

Posted August 19, 2016 The 4350 is about 80 dollars and the 6800k is about 400 dollars, I would hope that yours is much better. Your CPU is twice as much as the entire computer I am building.

Posted August 19, 2016 I recently build an FX-6300 machine and it plays Gmod, Portal and every other Source based game just fine, although a P4 will play them mostly fine too. My brother has an 8 core FX and plays KSP just fine, I'd guess Bioshock won't be a problem either. No upgrade path to anything newer, but if pushing the highest FPS isn't what you want, then no problem there really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 20, 2016 If your budget cant be altered get an 6300 and overlclock it, or dont. It really is the best cpu in the fx line, cost for peformance that is. I curently use it and i even tried the 8320 witch is the base for all the higher clocked fx seriers and to be honest apart front the cache you wont notice any difference in gaming and normal workloads. Also it is cheap af. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it wont it is just factory overclocked to a higher speed, save the bucks buy the 6300 and a non stock cooler for it is that you can overlclocked it with out worrying about temperatures, it can easily reach 4,5 without issues.

Just noticed your budget keep in mind that the fx seriers DONT have intergrated graphics so tou will have to buy a gpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one from a reputable source; And the i3 has far lower parts requirements as well (cooler, PSU, motherboard). "We also blind small animals with cosmetics. We do not sell cosmetics.
