Posted July 28, 2017 I'm looking to upgrade from my fx-8350, it's loud, slow, and is as hot as the sun. I was wondering if someone could recommend a new processor. My planned budget for the whole upgrade is between 400 - 500 USD. That includes CPU, MOBO, RAM, and cooler if it's not bundled with the cpu. Thanks for all the help.

Posted July 28, 2017 R7 1700 + b350 mobo + 3000mhz RAM. Want to custom loop? Ask me more if you are curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 28, 2017 I'd probably get the R5 1600. The r7 1700 is good if you can actually utilize it's full 8 cores but idk if it will with the coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 28, 2017 R7 will give you the most bang for your dollar and give you some future proofing if your demands increase, extra cores aren't like apples they don't go bad if not utilized right away!

It will vary, if you use something like webstorm it will acutally utilize +90% of a 1600 on occasion, have experienced it myself. But usually in "short" bursts. So the 1600 should be plenty. I'tll take alot to bring it to it's knees when coding and running the software you'd create while coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 28, 2017 16gb of ram with out a doubt. Have 8gb at work and it's a constant battle to keep the ram in check. Especially on windows 10. It's better on ubuntu, but you still have to keep it in mind. Should mention I tend to open alot of tabs in my browser, can't do that with 8gb however.
