Would this be good for Fx 8350 Cpu and R9 280?

This is the same setup I have running on this board, 8350 with a 280. Under heavy load this cpu gets extremely hot so I would recommend a liquid cpu cooler and a case with excellent airflow. My rig has been running 24/7 without issue. The hottest I've seen my computer get was 134F with an ambient room temp of 87F.

That's the setup I use. The ASRock boards are excellent quality. I run Elder Scrolls Online with max graphics and have had zero issues for months. I enjoy the ease of the graphical BIOS that ASRock has been using on these boards also.

Don't put an 8 core CPU in this, especially the 8350. Believe me I researched it myself and the truth is this board is decent but it can't handle the power consumption of an 8350. An AMD 990 series board would be safer. You'll be fine with an r9 290 though, this board should handle any video card. Just make sure you got a power supply with enough wattage.

yes i run AMD FX4300 and it is a 95watt cpu. its a great board for a tight budget

While I have not paired it with the fx 8350, I have paired it with the fx 6350, and there is not a single game I can't run right now. I play games such as Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and Titanfall on ultra settings on a regular basis. The only game that pushes my rig right now will be Watch Dogs, but the only upgrade recommended is the processor you are asking about. You should not have any trouble playing heavy games with this combo!

Yes it will. It has more than enough power to handle that CPU as well as most power hungry gpu's as well as long as you use a single graphics card you should be fine. More than one and I would start actually counting up how many Watts your system eats and go from there

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.

Depends. Do what everyone here says and pair it with a good GPU - I am using an EVGA 670 FTW and have had no trouble with any game maxed out. The only issue you may run into, and it is slight, many games are coded to use 1,2, or 4 cores. The 8350 is not as peppy in regards to single-core tasks. It's like having a V-8 engine but only being able to use 1 or 2 cylinders. To find out which games can take full advantage of all 8 cores, my suggestion would be to Google "(game name) CPU Core Usage" or something like that. Hope that helps.

Yes. The processor and graphics card work wonderful together. Make sure that your mother supports processors LGA 1150 and also has PCI ports (the majority of motherboards do).

It totally depends on your motherboard. You need to find out if your motherboard has the right chipset to accept this processor.

Yes it will run perfect with no bottlenecks, but i suggest go for a amd fx 6100 or better.

Yes it is compatible with the fx-8350. That is the CPU I am currently using with G-Skill Ripjaws memory. It is extremely stable with the stock cooler.

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.

I would say a sound no, as this cooler is rated for a 70 watt TDP, and the FX-8350 is rated as a 125w processor. I got a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for my 8350, and it works great. I recommend buying a cooler that's rated for a 125w TDP processor from any vendor, including Arctic, Cooler Master, Zalman, Noctua, etc.

It should, depends on if your motherboard and powersupply can handle it, the only thing is that being a intel processor and a amd graphics card, you will not be able to share cores

I would suggest checking the product website, they have listed the compatible chipsets and processors

the amd fx6100 will work on that board with no problems....if you are going to o.c. i would consider aftermarket cooling..

It's hard to answer this without more detail on your setup (motherboard, memory, overclocking, etc), but my experience with this chip in a different build is that it's borderline - you may max out cores. If you're thinking about buying this chip now (that is - you *don't* already own it) I'd suggest getting the FX-8320 instead, which only costs a little more, runs cooler, and responds well to overclocking (I've been running both of these chips with Evo 212 coolers at 4.5GHz for several months 24/7 and the FX-6350 runs MUCH hotter).
