Anyone been paying attention to AMD CPU news? I had no idea they were planning to launch new piledrivers in a couple of days.
But honestly, an 8350 with a 100mhz bump? This looks like a move of desperation. The higher-binned 8350 vs 8320, then the 9000 series, and now these new bins, just to have something for the AM3+ socket that was released in 2014 I guess.
How many times are they going to release the same fricking chip?
Meanwhile, still the same chipset from over three years ago.

So I just ordered a cheap $500 build for League of Legends/D3 gaming mainly:
AMD A8-6600K
Gigabyte R7 260X 2GB
MSI A78M-E45 Micro ATX
Team Vulcan 8GB 1600MHz RAM
Corsair CS450M 450W Gold Certified
1TB Seagate Baracuda HDD (Taking my 180GB SSD out of my laptop for main drive)
RAIDMAX Orion ATX-809B black case (79.99 on sale for 39.99 newegg labor day)
Should be plenty decent enough, MobaFire has the 260x with a 6600K running LoL/D3 on max with ease as well as a lot of other games. Already have monitor and kb/m (razer naga).
Total for it all was $480 with about $80 worth of NewEgg mail in rebates for labor day sale.
Where can I get Win7 for free? I'm sure I'll pirate it but anyone have one they use/have used that works fine?
