Is this CPU good with a radeon x5 36x?

It's not a CPU, but it is really good memory. It depends if your motherboard supports DDR3 whether you can use this memory, CPU for the most part doesn't decide this answer unless it is an older CPU that is attached to a motherboard that uses DDR2. Check to see what memory is compatible with the manufacturer.

I had a 240 and the upgrade wasn't amazing straight out of the box - if you're lucky and get one that you can unlock, then you're obviously in good shape. Otherwise you won't notice much improvement until you overclock it a bit - luckily there you have a lot of guides on the Internet specifically for the Phenom X2 550. Mine's running comfortably at 3.72 GHz, (1.45v, x15.5 multiplier, CPU up from 200 to 240) - it's on all the time because it's a work/media server, and restarts are only necessary when I'm installing updates (or it crashes playing Far Cry 3). For the price, it was a good stopgap upgrade, but I'm still looking to move to Intel at the middle-to-end of the year.

It depends what you have now. If you have anything less than this 6-core processor I say, yes. This is a great CPU. It's super fast and very reliable.

As long as you motherboard has at least one PCI slot your fine. CPU does not matter when choosing a GPU. Make sure you have a big enough power supply to power this card. Also you might wanna look into NVIDIA gtx 970 because its the same price (less video memory) but faster speeds.

Yeah, it's the same card I have and I haven't run into a game I couldn't run at 60fps. Of course you'll need a decent cpu as well

Sorry to disappoint you Tracy L. The processor you want is in the FM2 grouping that is not compatible with the AM3+ socket. My best suggestion for you is to look into the FX series for the latest CPUs that work with AM3+ sockets. I do not know what your needs are, meaning business or gaming. I am a gamer and just use a 3.1 dual core CPU. Not much a CPU but it is Radeon graphics enhanced and matched to a 6670 HD video card. I can enjoy games such as Skyrim with no frame-rate fluctuations. Perhaps I could suggest something for you if you would give me more information about your needs and your PC. Thank you for asking me and I am at your service if needed.

You have to look at the system board and it's specifications. You will have to see if it is comparable with this CPU's specifications. Cheers

As long as it's low end, you might be okay. This processor doesn't even officially support dual graphics. If I were building a system that I had any intent to game on, I would step up to at least the A6, if not the A8 or A10. I've used the A4 in three builds now and it does basic email, word processing, web browsing and such quite well. We use it to play Portal 2 Coop on occasion and it takes a really long time to load up and then the fps is only just over 30. As for thermals, I've never paid attention. AMD chips are designed to run hotter than their intel counterparts and I haven't seen anything remarkable heat wise on this one. One more thought...even if you go this route, make sure the motherboard is FM2+, not just FM2. This chip will still fit, but you will have much better upgrade options.

Depending on what Graphics card you have, and Most likely, very good CPU for the money. It can play Battlefield 4 with an AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz edition.

This is a great processor, which helps with CPU intensive games like battlefield 4. You need to make sure that all of the components you pick are in balance with each other so you don't have a bottleneck. Get a decent motherboard that supports this cpu, at least 8GB of RAM and definitely don't cheap out on a graphics card.

It will support any AM3+ CPU including the FX series with a BIOS update. I prefer never to use onboard video as for it uses physical RAM for it's video memory. I would recommend a small cheap AMD GPU to go with the board.

Oh yes absolutely..... This motherboard supports AMD® A series Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon™ HD 6000 Series Graphics.

Is not an i7, but is good enoughWindows 7 rate this cpu with 7.6 over 7.9However it's better than an amd solution

It depends more on the CPU than the motherboard, but you are unlikely to create a bottleneck with any middle or high-end FX processor.

If your motherboard can support the FX series CPUs then they might be worthlooking into. Myself I'm very happy with the Phenom II X4 965.This thing is more than fast enough for my needs even at thestock 3.4Ghz speed. I had it overclocked to 4.0Ghz for awhileand had no issues with overheating or stability running WINXP PRObut some games, GTA IV for example would cause BSODs so I justset it back to stock speed and it works great.

It should, this link is the CPU support list.http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=CPU

This is a great "bang for your buck" CPU. As long as your other parts aren't lagging behind in performance you will be perfectly fine with this CPU!
