[color=#000000]Post: #1[/color][color=#000000]Upgrading CPU & Mobo
[/color]
[color=#000000]Hi guys,
My current PC set up is:
Asus AM3 Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X3 435 2.9 GHz CPU
Sapphire Radeon 7850 1 GB Dual Fans Graphic Card
FSP Hexa 500W Bronze 80 Plus PSU
6 GB Corsair DDR3 1333 MHz RAM
Windows 7 64 Bit Professional
I want to upgrade my CPU and MOBO cause my CPU just isn't good enough for any kind of emulation.
Currently my options are:
1)
CPU: AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz: 120$
Motherboard: I dont know which motherboard to buy for this CPU.. cause this CPU is very overclockable, so I want a motherboard that I can do a mild overclock on. I dont want to do a crazy overclock, even a mild one is good enough for me.
2)
CPU:
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P32 : 65$
CPU: Intel i5 4570 3.2GHz : 190$
Ok so I have a budget of around 250$, 270$ max. So which of these CPU's will be better for Dolphin in general. Games that I would like to play are Xenoblade Chronicles, Tales of Symphonia and Sonic Colors.
The AMD one seems like it will be cheaper, but to overclock I will have to get an extra cooler and get a good motherboard which I think puts it slightly over my budget. I was thinking of getting an i5 4670k but that is a bit too expensive and even with that I would have to get a z87 motherboard and that is just not possible with my current budget.[/color]
