This or that

The rules are simple. Two cores go into the ring. One comes out. It’s the 80$ amd Fx 8350 vs the $130 amd ryzen 5 1400. The 8350 would be nice cause I wouldn’t have to replace a motherboard and ram, and could concentrate more on gpus, as I would have to spend all my money on stuff that will even RUN a ryzen. So is it worth splurging for the ryzen??

No point spending money on a shitty FX chip. AM4 is thriving right now and will for a fair while longer.

 This fx chip is decent for what I’m doing, and I really don’t want to spend $230 just for a entry level ryzen

Or you could put your 80$ towards the mid tier ryzen chip.

 

It's just not justifiable for 80$.

Is that from Newegg? Get one off eBay instead.

Finding a used Ryzen 5 1400, a single dimm of ddr4, and a used am4 motherboard off eBay will prove to be a lot less than $230 and also a lot more powerful than rusty old FX

Never get a new FX chip

Oh yea, and can It keep up with a RX 570 or 580?

FX will bottleneck in certain titles. Battlefield, overwatch, etc. Games that, when maxed out or high details, like to lean on the CPU.

Yeah. If you sell your old mobo for 20, your old fx chip for 20, your old ram for 40, look for a used b350 board, used r5 1400 and 2x4 ddr4 for under 150$

Easily.

I don’t play very demanding games, the must demanding game I probably have is Minecraft/ dota 2. So it should be fine

Absolutely worth it. The Ryzen 5 will leave the FX in the dust. It's really worth the extra money.
