hello i was just wondering if thamd phenom II X4 965 is still a viable option for gamin. I mean; is it worth it to get or should i think about something newer for more? Reviews on newegg are pretty good and if it is a good option whats a cheap am3 mobo that can help get a decent overclock (must have rev3 sata 6gps.) i want to know if it can go great with 100 dollar ssd, 20 dollar case, 80 dollar psu and 200 dollar graphics card
ya its 2013, its the time that even budget rigs should have an ssd. also i wouldnt just be gaming i would be using alot of light applications and i want it to be fast and speedy. especially with boot times
The Phenom II X4 965 is still a viable option, but it's a waste of money in the long run, imo. The FX-6300 doesn't cost that much more, and it's much faster. I would recommend saving the extra couple of bucks for the FX-6300.
