Hardware CPU Help?

[hunoi]

Should I switch out the AMD FX 8350 for a ryzen 5? It'll be used mostly for moderate gaming.

Which Ryzen 5?

 

[hunoi]

1400

 

[pokemoner2500]

I wouldn't tbh

It also seems like it's a different Motherboard socket (not sure if it's like intel where that makes them incompatible)

 

[hunoi]

6% better? Your saying i should save the extra $60

 

[pokemoner2500]

The 1400 is only 6% better then the fx 8350 yeah, save your money for a 1600x if anything

You can either go for 1400x or for 1500 if 1600x is to expensive
Also, am4 socket for the ryzen, you need a b350 motherboard(x370 is high tear) msi b350 tomahawk is a good board, or asus b350 prime. For high tear, ASrock x370 Killer SLI or x370 Taichi
