AMD Athlon X4 880K?

[Fatty Patty]

I was wondering if I could get some help looking for a store sell an AMD Athlon X4 880K. I have did some looking on my own but can’t find any that aren’t way over priced, from a reputable store, and aren’t used. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't think they sell them new anymore, you might be stuck looking used unless Newegg or Amazon has them new

eBay doesn’t even have any... or at least any that don’t look super sketchy

Check Newegg or Amazon. I'm pretty Amazon has at least the 860K(been a while since I looked)

The 880k is last gen . I wouldn't buy it IMO.

Why do you need an Athlon x4 880K? If you need cheap, look at a Ryzen 3 (they're around $100 these days), Pentium, or i3-8100. Or better yet, see if you can find a used processor. No joke, I saw an i5-2500K for $15 on Craigslist recently. If I had a motherboard for it already, I would've snatched it up

 

There's currently one for $25 on Ebay right now, and that would kill every of AMD's last-gen CPU's when overclocked.

I’m on a small budget and only have an FM2/FM2+ Motherboard and the 880k is the best FM2+ CPU Out there.

Ive bought used from china on ebay...never been burned yet. Just make sure product info is accurate and that the photos are of the actual product

 

What other parts do you have in your system

I thought about buying used from them Chinese sellers but wanted more insight first

 

My current system specs are:

CPU: AMD A6-7400K

GPU: Gigabyte RX 460 Windforce Overclockable 4GB Edition

Motherboard: GA-F2A68HM-H

RAM:16GB DDR3

That cpu would be a perfectly fine combo with your system as long as you want to save the most money. It wont "bottleneck" your gpu. Your motherboard really cant handle much overclocking. But you could probably get 100-200 more mhz without much effort. Make sure you have a half descent air cooler. The stock ones from amd that came with those suck from personal experience. The cooler im my signature is amazing and cheap. 

 

So yeah...i would go for it and just make sure you aim to spend as little as possible without getting scammed....just do your research on the seller and you will be fine. 

 

The 880k is much better than the a6 btw

 

RandomgaminginHD does a video with an 860k and rx 460...so you can see how well it performs in some cpu intensive AAA titles

Thanks! Also I bought an after market Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo that does great! Sounds great! Thanks for all the help!

Just an update! I decided to just go with the 860k because it and the 880k are pretty much identical. I’m just going to try to overclock the 860k to 4.2 when I get it so it will match the 880k clock speed.
