[mj.huber900]

I have been looking for a better CPU for my gaming computer right now I have
- AMD fx 6300 (CPU)
- 8 GB ram (1*8) DDR3
- EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (Graphic card)
-Gigabyte 970A-DS3P (Mother Board)

I make youtube videos and I use Cyberlink Power Director 15 and that uses the CPU and GPU it only takes 20 min for 15 min video the budget is meh I don't care, if u want to see my videos on my youtube channel I wil give you the link

And what would be a good Graphic card I can use for best gaming

Whats your budget?

 

[mj.huber900]

The budget I would say $100-$250

This is what I'd go with, just overclock the CPU to at least 3.8ghz on the stock AMD Wraith cooler. Even at stock clocks the 1200 is much faster then your 6300.

I would then save up for a decent upgrade such as the 1050 ti.

The "best CPU" your current motherboard will support is the FX 8370 however even the 1200 noticeably better.

Ok that's good would the Ryzen 3 work with an AM3 + socket

 

[WildCard999]

No, its a AM4 socket. You would need to buy RAM as well since it only supports DDR4 and your current RAM is DDR3.

 

[mj.huber900]

Ok is there a better CPU for my AM3+ socket or not?

 

[WildCard999]

Ok is there a better CPU for my AM3+ socket or not?

There is, the FX 8370, but the Ryzen 1200 is faster and personally I wouldn't dump money into a older FX socket unless I was getting the CPU for dirt cheap.

Ok thank you now since I'm going to be basically rebuilding my computer its there a equally intel CPU (Yes I know I'm going to have to get a new mother board) that would be about the same price because I like intel more then AMD

 

[WildCard999]

There's really no Intel within your budget that I would recommend. Even the i5-7400 is only barely faster then the 1200 and is much more expensive.

 

[mj.huber900]

Ok I thank you for your help, now the question is how good will the CPU work the GeForece GTX 750 Ti I have will it give me the same FPS in minecraft as it does right now or will it produce more

 

[WildCard999]

It will be at least the same if not more but TBH minecraft is easy to run so you'll have no issues.

Ok thank you
