I need some advice /g/ I decided it's time to upgrade my

You should maybe go get a better job.

>>55982707
Get an i3, some homo in another thread is ranting and raving about them.

>>55982707
Go for the i5. The cores on the FX are way weaker than on the intels. (like less than half)

What if I were to swap the FX 4320 for a FX 6300 perhaps?

>>55982797
You just add more cores. Most desktop applications and even games can't use the extra cores. Even 8 FX cores don't compete with an i5 in MULTITHREADED (when it can use all cores) games. Let alone single threaded.

>>55982797
Don't bother. AMD cpu's are outdated for the most part.

>>55982797
the options you posted are i5 or fx4k
i5 + rx480

>>55982774
4.6ghz my nigga is the fastest dog out there

>>55982865
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about

>>55982707
He recommended a GPU better than the one you wanted but you want the shittier one?

/g/ in 2016

>>55982896
Well I wanted a cheaper GPU but a more expensive CPU. I don't have unlimited money, you know.

>>55982927
What do you even need a GPU for at work?

>>55982932
I meant a pc for myself, to use at home. I just mentioned where I work because I'm not sure if my boss knows what he's talking about.

>>55982932
I am a professional gamer.

>>55982927
>My boss is gonna build me a new pc

That is a clear indication that he is paying for it... Is English your primary language?

>>55982707
I have that exact SSD in my laptop and it's cool bananas. Very impressive for its cost.

>>55982980
English isn't my primary language. And basically he is paying for it.

>>55983026
So wtf are you talking about then?

>>55983056
I meant he pays me to buy the pc, forget about it. Just tell me if this is a good build and if I should change something.

>>55983102
Everything is fine

>>55982707
ask for a 6300 OP

May I have attention of the tech gurus pls? >>55982847

>>55982707
FX 6300 is a piece of shit. trust me, I'm still using one.
Ditch the CPU cooler and the SSD and get an i5 instead, or if not then a decent i3.

>>55985909
How so?

>>55982707
Go Intel or wait for Zen.

Thats a good CPU but what are you going to do with that old ass overpriced GPU?

>>55982797
no just get a i3 or i5, other than that the build looks good

>>55986761
Behold Digital Foundry.

Thats one of the best AMD Cpus going against all of intels last 3 gens.

I think you can see the problem.

Not only does AMD suck at overall average framerates, it suck in a very important non seen part. And thats framerate stability. You want 60 FPS 100% of the time you don't want 40 or 50 or 59 you want 60.

AMD might come close to old intels on average frame rate but boy does it get lower FPS at the lowest. It's fluctuates too much. Frame times are shit.

What about GPUs anon?

Basically if you want a cheap GPU go for the RX 470. IF you want a good one pick RX 480 8GB or 1060 GTX

>>55982756
hey shut ur whore mouth bich

>>55982707
AMD FX is trash. GTX 960 is also trash.
Get a 480 and an i5.

>>55984315
Fury X. No point in having all those cores if you can't put them to good use in new APIs.

Never buy an AMD CPU.

DDR3 RAM is fine, you can't afford the CPU and Mobo required for DDR4.

The RX 480 is a shit load more powerful than a GTX 960.


Never, ever buy a GTX x60 GPU.

Nvidea GPU listings:
x60 - is for diagnosed Downs sufferers
x70 - is for poor faggots (best price/performance ratio)
x80 - is for normals
x80 Ti - is for enthusiasts
Titan - is for autistic streamers.

>>55988421
Retard alert, the only worthwhile Nvidia ones are low end for muh power consumption while everyone avoids X60(overpriced for power) and X80(worthless when the TI comes out)

>>55988421
****never buy AMD anything
its on the same level as buying chinkshit

So, always buy them then?

tfw just bought 1060 because I couldn't find an rx 480 anywhere paid 320 after tax and shipping

>>55982707
Drop to 8GB (YOURE NOT GONNA FUCKING USE 16GB RETARD) and get an 8320. That's pretty much the build I did a couple months ago and I'm happy. Don't wait around for Zen unless you wanna wait 8 years and don't listen to the dumb i3 drones. You don't want a low end piece of shit

>>55989798>>55989798
16 is literally future proof though, i never use all 8GB in my machine(though ive never actually checked how close i get while gaming) and i plan on getting 16

Then buy another 8 in 5 years when it's half the price and you need it
