Will my cpu be ok with this cooler

[Explosivebicycle]

I'm fairly new to computer building and I'm transferring some of my old pre built PC stuff into a new case, but I'm getting a new  AMD FX 8350 Black Edition "Vishera" CPU and I'm not sure how i should go about the cooling

 

Im thinking of getting a Corsair 120mm H60 All in one water cooler (currently on sale on amazon) but im not sure if its up to the job for suitable cooling when playing games such as battlefield 1 & 4, Overwatch etc

 

If its not suitable, are there any recommendations that can be given a max budget of £50 (Slightly flexible.)

 

Thank you.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Don't get that CPU.

It'll be fine aslong as you dont have a stupid high overclock

All liquid coolers support nearly every CPU socket in the world, so yes it will fit your FX 8350.

If you still have not bought the CPU (and motherboard), I suggest getting something different instead at the same price point.

Why not? For my price range its the best cpu i think i can get. Intel are obviously better but they are way too expensive. and i don't plan to over clock ether.

such as what? Intel obviously are better but are way out of my price range. Plus the motherboard i have takes AMD3+

The cooler should be fine cooling the CPU.

 

However, where, you mount the Rad is important and depending on your Motherboard you might have to look at cooling of your VRMs.  CPU coolers usually play a part in cooling the VRM's by stirring the air around.  

If you go with liquid cooling for the CPU, cooling the VRMs  can be done pretty easily.  I have even seen suggestions of using double sided tape to stick the stock cooler fan (not heat sink) on the motherboard I/O to blow on the VRM area.  Just don't choke off air to your VRMs .

 

I too would suggest not investing in AM3+ platform.  Zen (or Ryzen) is coming and if you want to upgrade even your DDR3 RAM can't be used.  

 

Hold on, so you are swapping in old stuff.  I.E. you already have AM3+ platform.  If you can get the CPU for cheap, and you should be able to then it MIGHT be worth it.  

 

If you don't have AM3+ platform, put the cooler money into a better platform.

Thanks for the info, I plan to have noctua fans in a pull config so i can have a  positive cooling configuration to blow air from the front to the back so it should be fine, and if it does become a problem than this tip will help. I did not know of the new Ryzen platform but im not sure if these would even be within my price range, and also the hardware i got has already arrived and is incompatible (Got it a few weeks ago, was just waiting on the case to arrive.) I'm replacing the case, cpu and motherboard so even if i did know about this new Ryzen platform, I doubt i would be able to acquire such hardware.
