Hi I want to buy AMD 3.5 GHz AM3+ FX 8320 8 Core Piledriver Processor - AMD: Flipkart.com
I have Corsair V450, 2 HDDs, 3 RAM sticks, and AMD HD5670 1GB DDR5 GCard. Motherboard ASUS M5A88-M-EVO Motherboard - ASUS: Flipkart.com which supports the mentioned CPU Will buying this processor overload my PSU. Or I need to buy a lower model processor ? Because I won't change my PSU presently.
And If I can buy that Processor, how is it's performance compared to i7 ?
>is your PSU VS450 ? Then NO dont use it with such highend processor or you will end up with everything in burned state.
>Get Asus M5A97 evo r2.0 or Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 avoid 880 series mobo.
>confirm that those 3 RAM sticks are DDR3 and HDDs are SATA else won't work with latest MoBos.
>fx 8320 with a discrete graphics card will surely overload your PSU. Get Antec VP450p(minimum) or Seasonic S12ii 520(recommended).
>which i7 ? In what aspects?
In most aspects FX 8320 won't perform better then ANY i7-3xxx or i7-4xxx. How can you compare an i7 with half priced fx 8320.
FX 8320 is vfm product, get proped PSU and you are good to go
