will amd processors run second life well?

[foxzero111]

so i am looking for a good pc build to run second life well like on medium or high settings is the amd athlon II 64 x2 280 dual core or the amd fx series good processors for second life and what would be good budget graphics cards that can work with a amd build and run second life

One of my systems uses an AMD FX 8350 Processor combined with a Nvidia GTX 780 GPU custom fitted with an arctic cooling triple fan cooler. Works very well , silent and cool in SL with graphics set to ultra.

I too also run amd.  I run a overclocked 8320e to 4.0ghz with a gtx 970. Can run Ultra settings also. Older Cpu's might struggle a little bit more.

but what amd proccessor do you use?

[foxzero111]

this is the build i am looking at 

 

proccessor amd athlon II 64 x2 280 dual-core 3.6ghz am3 proccessor 

 

cpu fan amd standard cooling cpu cooling fan

 

motherboard asus m5a78l-m/usb3 am3+ amd  760g hdmi usb 3.0 uatx amd motherboard

 

memory 4gb (1 x 4gb) 240-pin ddr3 1600mhz (pc3 12800) dual channel (high performance)

 

hard drive seagate / wd 1tb 7200 rpm 64mb cache sata 6.0gb/s

 

optical drive 24x dual layer dvd-rw

 

wifi wireless usb wifi adapter

 

case antec new solution series vsk-4000 black sgcc steel atx mid tower case 

 

power supply thermaltake 500 watt high perfomance power supply

 

monitor hp black 20" 7ms ips widescreen led-lcd monitor 

 

operating system windows 7 home premium

 

i know in its current state it might not be able to run second life atleast not as good but what if i upgrade the proccessor to a amd fx proccessor and get a good graphics card?

[Jean Horten]

Doesn't look bad, I use the same mainboard on the machine  i previously mentioned, legacy bios, no uefi crap,

Just add a decent GPU ( preferably by Nvidia) and it will run Sl quite well.

You can replace the athlon with an FX series later, for SL, a performant GPU is more important.
