You can go for a low range 990FX motherboard but here we are using MSI’s 970 Gaming motherboard. The motherboard we’ve got here is one of the best 970 chipset motherboard by MSI. You can use the Pentium Anniversary Edition G3258.Īs I mentioned earlier about how you need a quality motherboard for to get those high overclocking frequencies from your AMD processor. We can’t deny the fact that Intel’s Haswell is what you need in your gaming system but, the A MD FX – 6300 is one of the best alternative if you can’t afford the Core i5 – 4690K or other for those unlocked cores. Still, as a budget alternative, the FX-6300 is a very capable CPU offering decent multi-threaded performance, even at stock speed for use in productivity-related tasks and improved gaming performance too. The multi – threaded performance easily eclipses a stock Core i5, and almost manages to do the same in single – threaded performance too. You will need a massive cooler and quality motherboard to get to that sort of overclock, but it shows how competitive the Piledriver chip can be made. That said you don’t really need to have an overclocking motherboard to push the Core i5 up over 4.5GHz and gaming performance will quickly outstrip the AMD chip. Sure the temperature starts getting rather toasty under your CPU cooler, but the performance figures take a huge jump too. Part of that is down to the fact that it’s a very cool – running chip – at stock speeds it’s running at 28☌ under load. We’ve even managed to push the FX-6300 over 4.9GHz and had it stably posting benchmark scores. The overclocking performance has been enhanced. Pleasingly that drop in both TDP and clockspeed doesn’t mean this is a slower chip in real – world terms. At 95W then it’s a little more efficient than its progenitor. Despite having the same general make-up and 14MB cache size, the FX-6300 has got a lower TDP than the Bulldozer. After all, in gaming terms, it’s the GPU that will make the difference in frame rates. With that sort of raw processing power from a cheaper chip you could then drop the money you’re saving going for an AMD platform and put that cash into a superior graphics card. This CPU is best sweet spot for gaming PCs, it’s also a boss at overclocking and it has a serious multithreading performance. We’ve opted for AMD’s on of the best price per dollar gaming CPU which is a 6 – core AMD FX – 6300. The reason we’ve opted for an AMD processor is because it can be overclocked to massively high frequencies and every AMD processor have unlocked core, While you have to find more expensive processor if you want to go for an Intel processor. Intel cores are more powerful than those of AMD’s. Intel’s processing cores are bit different than those of AMD. Don’t worry Intel is not playing any evil monopoly game with you. AMD provides us more processing cores in those lower rates. You guys might be thinking why AMD? The reason we choose AMD over Intel this time is because AMD is one of the best budget CPU makers. Hey there, as here we all love building new gaming machines, we wanted to publish a new build guide, but as our Intel’s Budget Build Guide was one of the most viewed blog, we’ve decided to write another Budget Build Guide – AMD Edition.
