- Reading: Looking to make upgrade MOBO & CPU
I've been using a build from about 2013 that I had built and I have been running it for a while. My CPU and MOBO are going on the fritz now so I am looking to upgrade. My current CPU and Motherboard are as follows:
>Asus M5 A97 R2.0 with 9-series Chipset
>AMD FX-6350 (black edition) 6-core 3.9GHz 14MB cache
I was thinking on moving to an 8 core intel CPU and a MOBO that could possibly have more USB 3.0 slots for my joystick and Oculus, but I'm not quite sure. Any suggestions?

Wait for Zen.

Coreboot

What's Coreboot?
I did some more searching and found some AMD 8-cores. Any of theirs good?

Sure. Get a FX-9xxx and incinerate your basement.

AMD Zen you faggot

(more like my livingroom) but what would be a good type? I'm looking for something that may be able to run Bohemia games better or be able to handle the newer games coming out

It's the open source bios. Our answer to UEFI.

They put out way to much heat. If you want a quiet system or doesn't occasional cut out do not go that way.

So it's a new series of AMD CPU's that are supposed to be better in nearly every way and be the main competitor to Intel?
