Advance micro device AMD Athlon X4 860K with 95W Thermal Solution 3.7 4 Socket FM2 AD860KXBJASBX

It’s $65 bucks for an excellent CPU. Quad Core, 3.7 GHz. There are a few things I should note:This doesn’t come with Integrated Graphics. YOU MUST BUY DESCRETE GRAPHICS.Don’t overdo your GPU, a RX 460 or GTX 950 is definitively enough, a GTX 10 series or RX 480 is overkill, and I’d even steer clear of a GTX 960, which I’m currently bottlenecking this.If you’re going to do CPU intensive stuff (CS:GO, Video Encoding, etc.) you may want to consiter something more beefy. Toms Hardware recommends anAMD Fx Processor 3.8 FD8300WMHKBOXor anIntel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor (BX80662I36100)at the $125 bracket.Also, this CPU is pretty much the most powerful thing for the FM2 MoBo socket save the 880K, and with the Zen CPUs coming out on AM4, you’ll need a new Motherboard to upgrade. I’d advise waiting for Zen or getting a Pentium G4400/i3-6100 if you care about upgradability.Finally, this runs HOT. It’s AMD, so what did I expect? With the stock cooler, this easily reaches 70 C at load. It shouldn’t be too bad unless your case is tiny or poorly ventilated, but if you want your case to say cool invest in a Aftermarket Cooler. I hear theCooler Master Hyper 212 EVO – CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)is good but is tall.Anyway, the CPU suits my needs, and though I should’ve bought something better, I can’t say this js a bad choice if you’re on a budget.
