So i am looking to get a new cpu that isnt over priced and will have great performance and the cpu i am looking at (AMD FZ-8320) looks great especially for the price , i have a gtx 1060 6gb also and it will be an improvement from my amd fx 4300 black edition , any advice or better cpu's under £150 that fits AM3+ motherboards ??

LMAO

Sorry mean't FX not FZ

I don't understand what you are complaining about ?

Buy a used FX8350 and a watercooler, overclock it to 4.8GHz and you're pretty much set for your manchildren stuff.

Yeah but then i have to BUY more shit when i don't want to , the max i will spend is £200 on a cpu and other shit if needed but all i need is a cpu that wont bottleneck the fuck out of my GPU

>that fits AM3+ motherboards
buying an 8320 and watercooling it is the only way to go. so thisyou can look at akasa venom a10. I don' know british retailers prices, but it is very capable.

Something like this

it seems it is £52.

So what is the difference between this and JUST a fan seeing as this water cooling also includes a fan , it just cools water instead of cooling the cpu directly (i tend to not give a fuck about cooling because ive used fan cooling for over 7 years

Don't buy FX again...

Just try to save money for few more months and get an r3 when it's out with an AM4, so you can upgrade to DDR4 when you have the capability.

If you really need to buy RIGHT NOW

Get a cheap B mobo and a G4560. FX are shit.

t. 4.6 GHZ 8320 owner

Oh water transfers heat faster , i understand now

FX 8320 cant be THAT bad

I made a friend upgrade his Phenom to a 8320 cos it was bottlenecking like a motherfucker and it made GTA and Overwatch unplayable. I think it's an ok CPU, certainly not stellar but seems to do the job so far.

I have a FX8300 and running at stock with a HD7850 and I can run overwatch at 1080p 100% renderscale without any hickup. You must have fucked up something.

IS there any better amd cpu's for under £150 because the 8320 is starting to sound kinda worrying , i know it can overheat but i can deal with that !!

all of the FX series get hot. you cannot escape it.

Already using the fx 4300 black edition so i know the pain but ive been needing an upgrade and desu any upgrade is a good upgrade from this low tier shit thats taking down my 1060's performance

>CLC on an FX-8320
>never gets above ambient temp even under full load

YOU CANNOT ESCAPE IT

I have a 4-core phenom from like 2011 and it plays overwatch maxed out with no issues whatsoever. I also have a 1070, though. Basically, there's probably something else wrong with your friend's computer if it can't play that game.

I am using my stock fan along with FX8300 and it never reached 50 degrees...

there is no fx chip better than 8320.

it is 8 core, cheaper than 8350 and 8370 and they are the same chip as 8320 but with different clock speeds.

>thinking 8 cores are actually useful for gaming

ishygddt

Stock 8320 on water loop here with RX 480 (Strix), nothing has ever skipped a beat and the only bottleneck I've hit is turbo modded Skyrim

>The only bottleneck I've hit is in a six year old game built on an engine from the 90s!

You didn't understand you double nigger. The Phenom was the one that was collapsing all the time. The 8320 made both games playable.

You know, the improvement will be minimal for gaming. Only on highly threaded games you'll see the difference.

I strongly recommend you to sell the current system and upgrade to Ryzen, or Intel. A Ryzen 5 1600 will demolish that current and potential setup, and you get tons of upgrades like DDR4 memory and AM4 socket.

Even better if you get Intel, since you're gayming.

You nignog, the way you wrote is wrong go back to school

go shitpost in ryzen threads please.

I don't think so, but English is not my native language so whatever. Anyways, the 8320 seems to do a decent job at games.

I can't do it, man. They're just so damn happy to finally have decent performance from an AMD chip.

Reality will set in in a couple years once Intel releases their next chipset that makes AMD completely noncompetitive while their fanboys try to convince themselves that they didn't get ripped off by buying in to a CPU with no upgrade path again.

>Reality will set in in a couple years once Intel releases
just wait right? how familiar.

Intel's current offerings are already better than Ryzen, so I'm not sure wtf you're trying to say.

My point is that it'll only be a couple years before AMD doesn't even come close anymore. You know, the same thing that happens EVERY TIME ayyymd shits out a new uarch.

price wise, intel is not better. amd got them by the balls.
>it'll only be a couple years before AMD doesn't even come close anymore
still doing this I see.

>Intel's current offerings are already better than Ryzen

Only gayming manchildren and actual children think this.

Wow, you mean the cheap piece of shit CPUs that are obsolete before they even hit the shelf are cheaper than the good ones that won't bottleneck or overheat while playing 6 year old games?

>overheat
you mean kaby lel? the one needs delidding to cool down?

God, if only there was some sort of metric we could use to compare CPU performance. Something objective so we don't have to rely on feels to tell which one is better...

Unless you need it now, it's probably worth waiting a few months for the R3.

FX-8320 is decent enough for a couple of years to come and definitely your best bang/buck if you already have an AM3+ mobo.

I wouldn't bother overclocking. by the time it struggles it's time to upgrade anyway and what you've saved on the cooling is better spent of a replacement.

>300 bucks cpu beats 1000 bucks cpu
>defending this
have fun with your overpriced housefire.

>bulldozer
>in the year of ryzen

really makes you think.

>"Ryzen is worse than intel right out of the gate!"

>"No it isn't!" *posts benchmarks showing that Ryzen is worse than intel right out of the gate*

shiggy diggy

WTF happened , i went away for like 30 mins and now the thread has nothing to do about what cpu is better for £150 !!!! also fuck off im not paying £500 for intel which just offers an extra 5 - 10 fps

The quad core smt zen ( r5 1400 i think) should be right around that pricepoint. FX is garbage, dont buy it.

oh if you're looking for cheap and don't give a shit about performance, then amd is definitely the way to go. You'll end up paying more in electricity costs between the TPD and cooling your house in the long run though.

Also fuck you, I bet you play games at 1600x900 you inbred fuck knuckle.

>never gets above ambient temp even under full load

Ok bro.

>don't give a shit about performance
No i don't give a shit about an extra 5fps for double the fucking money you absolute spaz monkey now give me £200 or less cpu recommendations or advice (il boost the budget by £50)

Just sell the damn thing and but a decent, recently made CPU.

If you are really budget constrained, I'd consider waiting for the lowest end Ryzen 3 and getting the cheapest B350 board you can get (for overclocking). You've managed to make it this far with your FX 4300, I'm sure you could wait a few more months.

At least you'll have a wonderful upgrade path if you ever want to upgrade in a few years again.

If anything, expect to see a bunch of really cheap FX 8320s or 8350s after Ryzen 5 and 3 come out, since many FX people will be jumping ship to get a Ryzen.

i guess i could sell my old gpu and also my other components besides my current gpu and memory to get the rysen + motherboard

>worse than a $1000 CPU
oi vey!

Intel is unironically the housefire CPU brand now though since Ryzen is here.

Anyway OP, the 8320 ranges from either a good/noticeable upgrade to completely useless depending on how much your 1060 is bottlenecked by single threaded performance of the CPU (probably a lot on some things I'm guessing.) Point is, nobody can really tell you if the 8320 is worth it or not. It's a 4-ish year old CPU that can really hang in there and impress on some things and then get BTFO on the next thing by more modern chips. Up to you to decide if that is worth it.

Well at this point any upgrade is a good upgrade and sure rysen does look promising but i guess you could say that i can be a little impatient and not only that but it costs more and so does the am4 motherboard when i am only getting promised an extra few fps (as far as i know)

>being this poor

Have you stopped to consider that maybe this isn't the hobby for you? I hear that quadcopters are pretty cheap now.

Surely you can get a cheap 50 dollar biostar mobo

But i digress , it would stop the bottle-necking which is what i am looking for but so would the 8320

>poor
>owns a gigabyte gtx 1060 6gb
i could spend more of course but i dont see the fucking point of doing so when the only thing amd offers is A FEW EXTRA FPS READ THE ABOVE user ^^^

I'm just telling you that the difference between the 8320 and 4300 will be minimal in certain applications where the jump to a new platform, while more expensive, is a guarantee of an improvement whether it's a new intel or new AMD platform.

"Any upgrade is a good upgrade" is not the case here because the FX series has pretty fucking bad single threaded performance by 2017's standards, especially if you are not committed to heavily overclocking it which requires additional investment in a good cooling setup. Depends on what you're doing mang.

just buy a PS4 you gimp

>8320 ranges from either a good/noticeable upgrade to completely useless depending on how much your 1060 is bottlenecked by single threaded performance of the CPU


That's the issue. 8320 barely differences itself from the FX 4300 in single thread performance. I think it's actually worse.

So for gaming, maybe better minimum FPS overall and better FPS on highly threaded games, which aren't so common.

OP, just upgrade to Ryzen once Ryzen 3 and 5 are out.

Why are you here if you use a ps4 gtfo

>buy the newest shit for lots of cash or gtfo!
fuck off, elitist douche.

It might be worth buying used.

Sure i guess it wouldn't kill me to wait for even longer but getting a cheap and effective motherboard thats am4 will be tough

Just telling OP that if he's so hard up for cash that he's asking Sup Forums of all fucking places for hardware advice, he'd be better off buying a console and not having to worry about whether or not he'll be able to game on it.

>I don't understand what you are complaining about ?
It's shit if you are
>muh gayims
If you watch youtube and compile lots of shit i could probably recommend it.
I had one, don't have anymore.

I really think it will be worth saving up for the cheapest Ryzen.

I'm sorry dude, but the 8320 and 8350 are pretty much equally as strong as the 4300. The only difference is that it's 4 cores vs 8 cores.

Your GTX 1060 isn't really going to feel any faster most of the time. Because most games don't care about more cores at the moment.

go back to Sup Forums please , we have no room for haters and console fags when pc is superior also read

fx is actual garbage just save the money up for ryzen 5 next week

There's actually a small ipc gain, but the it's almost not even worth paying $70 for an 8 core FX since Ryzen 3 is going to be a thing.

I used to have this cpu and I literally need to manually fan it with an electric fan to cool it down.

It's a new platform. With time, and with R3/R5 being the cheapest models, maybe cheaper boards will be released as well.

>owning a GTX *60

>thinking that's not the poorfag card

you really don't know shit about computers, do you?

>8 days for ryzen 5
>goes for FX

>£250 +
If that isnt mid tier to you then please leave , we don't need you here if you believe that you need all the new expensive shit that will get old within 5 years and become worthless anyways

Come on, really user? GTX 1050 and RX 460 is low tier.

Shit like the Titan X turns into the mid-tier stuff for the next gen. e.g. $1000 Maxwell Titan X = $400 GTX 1070. Less than half the damn price.

İts not that bad, you are right but its still beter to just few monyhs and upgrade r3 for i3 prices with dew more months of saving.

I can get 60+ fps im every game ezept 255 mod Skyrim and arma/dayz with my 8320 and 290

But ny laptop with 6th gen i3 is still faster at emulation than my desktop. Thats how much dfference ryzen and intel have over fx lineup

I'm rocking a GTX 960 and an FX-6300. The difference is, I'm under no illusion about how shit my system is.

You're in here trying to convince everybody that you're not a half-retarded poor asshole, while also trying to get people to validate your decision to buy a fucking FX chip of all things...

Actually gonna get a ryzen now if you could fucking read you would understand this also kind of ironic for you out of everyone calling other people poor assholes , do you just hate every person you meet , god damn!

Just buy an r5 + b350 mobo + ddr4 for ~$400 next week and sell your old stuff.

You had to learn about Ryzen, the biggest news in the hobby for the last 5 years, from a Sup Forums thread.

You were ready to slam down money on an FX chip, completely oblivious to the fact that the entire line is obsolete despite that fact being plastered for MONTHS on the front page of every site even remotely related to PC gaming.

And you want me to believe you actually know what the fuck you're talking about? That you're NOT a total fucking retard incapable of using a search engine?

Ok friend, whatever you say :^)

Get out of my thread if you are just gonna hate then , not everyone has to be like you for them to be classed as smart , who shit in your cornflakes in the morning because you have to be pretty damn sad to be arguing on Sup Forums over a fucking cpu when all i asked was for advice , not to get called a retard just because i like to use my money efficiently !

kek'd.

I know people who just make a gaming pc and pay zero attention to the pc hardware industry until something in their rig needs upgrading after half a decade, or straight-up breaks.

I'm not OP, but this is actually a thing that happens man.

>criticizing fx

>uses fx

Its kinda obvious you are just looking for an argument m8 , now you got one so can you go float into the fucking sun already or go back to Sup Forums where you (if not came from) definitely belong

Hey man, Alienware exists for a reason. If you want to get the best bang for your buck though, you're gonna have to learn how to do some research instead of getting info spoonfed to you.

or he knows that its fucking shit first hand

>you can only criticize something if you don't have first-hand experience with it!

goddamn you're dumb as fuck, dude

>fits AM3+ motherboards

Right there is where you are doing it wrong.

I do know that feel, I too have yet to go with the newer platform. With 32 GB RAM and a just fine system I really don't like having to buy a new motherboard and a new CPU and new RAM. That being said, it is what I will be doing eventually.

Don't spend money on upgrading that AM3+ board with a new CPU. Just the power draw it has over the newer generation makes it a bad investment.

Just put that money aside and save up until you can buy a good motherboard and DDR4 RAM and a new CPU. The cost of this really is much higher than a new CPU but it's what you'll have to eventually do to get a worth-while upgrade. This is what I personally will be doing.

>FX 8320 cant be THAT bad
It draws power like crazy, but other than that it's a fine CPU. It's main issue is that it's AM3+ so you miss out on very basic features like USB 3.0. Throwing more money on that platform seems silly, even if you already have the motherboard and RAM.

I totally agree with this. Either don't upgrade and stick with that current AM3+ CPU or do a real upgrade and get to a newer DDR4 platform.

>price wise, intel is not better. amd got them by the balls.
I'm personally waiting to see how the Ryzen 5's will be priced locally if/when they show up. The Ryzen 7's are all priced way higher than Intel's chips. I know there's a supposed "reference price" people talk about but that means nothing when everyone is selling them for $120-150 more.

>waaah everybody is wrong but me!
>they can't possibly know anything about cpu's

this board isnt your fucking tech support line. if you're an oblivious retard that asks stupid questions then expect to get laughed at.

Ok now i knew you wanted an argument , but this is clearly bait at this point

That's what I'm saying though. I know people who do a ton of research on pc components, buy them all individually on Amazon or eBay and shit, then build their rig.

Then they completely ignore the PC hardware industry for a long time and just fuck off and play games or watch anime or something until a component needs replacing/upgrading. I'm not even kidding.

Many people are way simpler than we think they are.

lol

Ok then explain to me how for £99 an fx 8320 is NOT worth it when it is clearly superior than a fx 4300 the exact thing i want not to mention as i said im not wasting £100's just for a few extra fps when the 8320 does the job

>acting like i never consulted youtube before posting the thread

I don't know man, I'm pretty confident that this guy is just as simple as I think he is.

>this dog shit is clearly superior to this cat shit, how is that not worth eating?

>WAH WAH THAT GUY IS ONLY RESEARCHING WHEN HE NEEDS TO WHEN HE NEEDS TO PAY 100% ATTENTION TO GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE

grow up user why would someone waste time when they can just use it more wisely
