Posted November 10, 2016 Check your local E-bay or whatever used parts site, for your country. Prices may be different in some regions. (in my area, prices for used parts suck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I'm upgrading my motherboard aswell, am3+ socket... Although, I am wondering between the ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA or MSI 970A GAMING PRO CARBON Which both are compatible with the processor.

Posted November 10, 2016 28 minutes ago, TomatoKillMC said: Why that? It's not that good in games, and you need a motherboard for it which if you get the i5 4460 you don't. So, you are saving money and getting mostly the same if not better performance over the FX processors, so why would you go for a FX 8370/8350?

Well yeah, but I am looking to change my Motherboard as well, not keep this one, so that's why I am taking the AMD here... If Intel has a better solution for a Motherboard and CPU I'll gladly take it, since I am looking to get the best of my new PC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 10, 2016 Author Just now, Castdeath97 said: It still is better! But, why are so keen on changing the motherboard, it won't affect performance. Because: 1. I am making a second PC, so this motherboard alongside the CPU will go in an old one, and the new processor and MoBo will go in my main PC. 2. Currently I have a GIGABYTE B85M-D3V-A and I'm not a big fan of Micro-ITX motherboards, and it's lacking some stuff that I could use. 3. (not so important but here it is anyways reason) It doesn't really look pretty, and that is not a big problem, but it's kinda tiny little thing that bugs me a bit.

Then buy a new H97 board or something and haswell i5. It's just better in gaming. If you want to reply back to me or someone else USE THE QUOTE BUTTON!

Every 2 cores shares a FPU which means when a floating point calculation needs to be done it slows down.

Posted November 11, 2016 Author 21 hours ago, Strike105X said: @TomatoKillMC: The ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA is the better motherboard, in fact make sure you get that rather then the MSI, as its one of the best for an FX83XX especially in stability and overclocking. With that said, unless money is a problem (i mean here i can get a good mobo and an FX83XX cpu for half the price of the cheapest haswell i5 CPU, especially if i look out for good deals), i recommend the intel as well, although personally i would go with an i5 that has at least 3.5 Ghz. 21 hours ago, Castdeath97 said: Then buy a new H97 board or something and haswell i5. It's just better in gaming. Well yeah, money is kinda a Problem since I'm on a budget. So, the ASUS MoBo is better. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 11, 2016 4 minutes ago, TomatoKillMC said: Thanks. Your welcome. But honnestly i´m not sure which particular motherboard you have right now? But i would concider to trow a locked Haswell i5 on it. Will be cheaper then a FX83xx + Asus 970 pro gaming Aura board all together. Because with the FX cpu´s you also gonne need a decent cooler aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything you can afford going cheaper since you don't need to worry as much on the VRM cooling since haswell i5s use less power.

If you had to buy an AMD CPU wait for Zen or if you're into APUs you can try something on an FM2+ Socket because I think their APU graphics are better than intel's and it's more power efficient than FX CPUs.
