Question Best FM2+ Processor to pair with a GTX 750 1 GB

[serjj]

Posting for a friend,

Hello, so my friend is getting a new CPU for his GTX 750 1GB because his A4-5300 was bottlenecking the hell out of his GPU, he only has a Gigabyte F2A68HM-S1, what is the best FM2+ Processor to pair with his GTX 750?

You could look at any of the high end APU's or the Athlon X4 860K(if you don't want onboard GPU). I'd get the A10-7850K if that is available for cheap where you're located.

If you intend to go with a discrete graphics card, I don't see any reason to purchase an APU. I'd go with the Athlon X4-880K

If you need to update the BIOS for a new processor, be sure to note with revision of the board you have, as there are two:

CPU Support List - GA-F2A68HM-S1 (rev. 1.0)
CPU Support List - GA-F2A68HM-S1 (rev. 1.1)

The revision number for Gigabyte boards can be found, printed on the corner of the motherboard.
