yes they will but avoid all fx cpu, get a ryzen 1400 cpu.

whatever you do don't get a 8300 I have it and it is a piece of garbage

You won't experience any compatibility issues with that build.

 

But as has been pointed out, the FX platform has become a legacy platform with the launch of AMD's new Ryzen platform. Is there any particular reason you chose an FX CPU?

Well Im on a budget and I am looking for cheap components for quality gaming at 1080p.

I agree, highly recommend Ryzen. I dislike all other AMD processors but Ryzen is looking great!

[jonny.lizotte]

I want to play games like BF4,GTA5. Im trying to keep the cost down. I don't have a lot to spend.

[jonny.lizotte]

And I am willing to go the Intel route if needed.

@jonny.lizotte If you can get a Ryzen 5 CPU for a similar price, it would definitely be a good idea. It is always worth getting the latest CPU architecture and motherboard chipset for future compatibility. AM3 didn't have support for windows 10 in a lot of cases, and AM3+ may not have support for future versions of windows; it is an antiquated platform.

 

There are pros and cons to Intel vs. AMD, but at the moment it seems Ryzen 5 CPUs are definitely the best balanced CPU choice in that price category. A corresponding B350 chipset and 8gb DDR4 RAM should work out at roughly the same price, and provide much better performance, as well as compatibility for future generations.

 

That said, FX CPUs still offer great price:performance - you can get them very cheap. So if you simply cannot make the step up to Ryzen you will get away with one for what you are trying to do, but just don't expect it to last you too long.

I need a cheap GPU for around 100$ to go with my ryzen 5 1400 CPU. Any Ideas?

RX 470? 570? 1050 TI?

I don't think that will work on this board:Gigabyte GA-AB350M-HD3 AM4 AMD B350 2 Way CrossFire

 

[jonny.lizotte]

The board is GDDR5

No, it has a PCIE slot so it will work.

[jonny.lizotte]

Ok but on amazon the RX 470 is like 200$.

But the RX 570 is a lot better.
