What do you mean "safe"?

Kind of one of those "if you have to ask..." situations.

It'll either work or it won't. If you're into gambling, go for it.

It probably works, but well? Who knows.

Why the f*** are you getting this?  This is for generation 2/3 CPU's, and we're on 8th.  It also doesn't even have a BRAND.  I don't know why you would spend even a dollar on this motherboard.

because this http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-3550-vs-AMD-A8-6600K-APU/m846vsm3344 also im on a tight budget and i dont want an a8 anymroe

Get a brand name mobo wtf lol. Not worth the risk unless youre into returning things.

I don't know why you don't just get a cheap B250 board that is the same price and then grab a Pentium G4560.  It'll be the same price even lower because the CPU you want is $250 dollars.  You might as well get an i5-7600 or Ryzen with that money.

Synthetic benchmarks dont always tell the whole story. Its a good representation but I would honestly recommend getting a newer gen CPU if I were you.

ummmm no its not, the cpu and mobo cost about $100 user benchmarks prices are unreliable for old hardware

Unless you wanna buy a used one for $85, not really reliable.  Then again you won't get anywhere near the performance of a newer gen CPU.  I don't know why you're even thinking about this generation anymore lmao.

If you don't like the pentium, spend a little more and get an i3-7350k.

I was pointing out the other benchmark page you had earlier. But that's besides the point I was trying to make about getting older gen hardware. Do a i5-2500k vs 7600k comparison, I guarantee you the 7600k will win.

 

Edit: budget posted, ignore this..

Because maybe not all of us have the money to buy 8th gen CPUs. I'm still on first gen i5 and it's still perfectly useable, no slowdown at all.

All of these websites that you're posting are extremely sketchy and I would not trust them.  Unless you want to return things and waste time and money, don't buy this gen from these websites.  If you look on a reliable site like Newegg it's not a good option.

Why recommend K series when he's clearly not overclocking going for lowend boards.. 

[kelvinhall05]

@eggbox1 It's probably fine, I'd go for it.

Well you've had that, he's buying this now.
