AMD A10 6800k

[Tommy Cooney]

Hi, I think i am in need of a cpu upgrade, as with my current a8 5600k 3.6ghz, i believe i am experiencing bottle necking on my gtx 660 2gb on certain games (terrible frames on battlefield 4 - 25 fps). Just wondering whether upgrading to an A10 6800K 4.1ghz would increase my fps and whether its a worthy upgrade, AND would it fit on this motherboard: asus A58M-A

My pc specs:
.Corsair 500Watt PSU
.ASUS A58M-A
.AMD A8-5600 Quad Core 3.6GHz
.Samsung 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
.1TB 7200RPM SATA 3 Hard Drive
.nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
.Microsoft Windows® 8.1 64-bit
Standard CPU Cooling Fan
CoolerMaster K350 Case 1x Front USB 3.0 1x Front USB 2.0 & Front Audio

many thanks!

Would be a waste of money IMO,that apu shouldn't be bottlenecking that badly really.
The 860k with an aftermarket cooler & an over clock would be you're best bet - honestly don't think even that would offer a huge improvement though.

If i were you,i would buy an Intel proccessor for gaming,but you need new mobo
Acording to this http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-2.html Intel Pentium G3258 is very good.
