Don't get motherloving FX in current year holy stuff, it's ass
this, don't get a stuff $60 CPU if you're planning on using this computer for more than a month.and why are you getting two small ass hard drives? did you check the speeds on them or just the price?
I’m not getting ddr4, too much for my brother
i have a machine with an fx 8350 and it works perfectly fine for what i do with it (although it's not a wise idea to buy one in current year since they're old cpu's and have become a giant meme at this point)my real question is why is your brother buying parts that are several years out of date instead of waiting and actually getting modern components
I'm assuming what you do with it is stuff that actually scales across all of the processor's cores / threads. Anything other than that, FX is piss
surprisingly it plays games quite well (at least by my definition of "quite well") and i manage to do other stuff on the thing finebut as i said fx is old and has become a meme because it is probably the biggest example of "clearly cores and clock speed are the only things that matter in a cpu!!!" syndrome that i can think of
Did you not read the post???I already have them, I’m only looking to upgrade the cpu and motherboard
surprisingly it plays games quite well (at least by my definition of "quite well") and i manage to do other stuff on the thing fine. brother used it for 4-5 years before upgrading to a ryzen, and the cpu is now in my secondary build (i use a 6600k in my main pc)but as i said fx is old and has become a meme because it is probably the biggest example of "clearly cores and clock speed are the only things that matter in a cpu!!!" syndrome that i can think of. even a sandy bridge cpu (released around the same time) will have significantly higher ipc
