Best Budget DDR3 Cpu to pair with a gtx 750ti for CS:GO

[elderMat7]

The title says it all. My current cpu is an A8 3850 and I want to upgrade. I'm looking for a DDR3 one because RAM prices are quite high right now, and I have 2x4 DDR3 1333. I'm thinking on buying FX-8350 / FX-6300, but I'm not absolutely sure. I at least 120-150 fps on low settings on 4:3 resolution. I mainly play CS:GO. If you suggest a motherboard to combine with the CPU you suggested that will be appreciated . Thanks

CSGO is cpu intensive and either the a8-8350 or a fx 6300 has poor core speed that csgo needs.

Do not waste your money, trying to preserve ddr3 ir spending on a FX upgrade.
A8-3850 has a passmark rating of 3460, that is when all threads are fully utilized. The single thread rating is 956 which is what games like CSgo need.
A FX-6300 is not much better at 6384/1408.

It is time for a modern upgrade to ryzen on intel 8th gen.
For example, $200 will can buy a G5400 motherboard and 8gb of ddr4 ram.
The G5400 has a rating of 5255/2200.

MAYBE getting a secondhand 3rd or 4th gen Intel system, and you can transfer your RAM over as additional RAM, it might be worth it.

But do NOT spend any money on that ancient platform. Your bang-for-the-buck will be exceptionally poor.

Sell those components for what you can, and move on to a more modern system. There aren't enough crutches available to make that thing even close to a budget system today.
