No, here is the supported cpu list http://bg.gigabyte.com/products/ajax?block=GetCpuList&id=1930

the amd cpu fx6300 will never work in the intel socket

you need a intel cpu to be installed in the intel socket

the fx6300 goes in a amd socket am3+

So which one would you recommend to buy for budget gaming max saying £150 ? Maybe slightly over I am buying a gtx 1060 6gb and I've done research with it on my board

The Core™ i7-880 or Xeon X3480 is the strongest CPUs for that motherboard according to the compatible CPU list linked above.

That is an older CPU that is no longer produced. You should be able to find one on eBay though.

BTW, what CPU do you have now?

 

[MasterKempinis]

I5 760

I5 760

The actual performance gained by a different CPU will not be huge. Rather, I would suggest saving your money for a future CPU, motherboard, memory upgrade and continuing with your current CPU.

My i5 760 is starting to die I'm also going to buy a gtx 1060 and I think it will also bottleneck


My specs.


16 ddr3 ram
Gtx 560 ti gddr5 2 GB
I5 760

rofl!

how is a cpu starting to die look like, or work?

 

[MasterKempinis]

Ussaly works 80 100 percent ideal I can't measure temps basically performance issues

 

[atljsf]

80 or 100 percent menas that you are using it that much, not that is dying

have you ever reinstalled windows on it, run a antivirus or a malware scan?

use malwarebytes or plan a reinstal, if you change to a new cpu but keep a windows installation full of crap, virus, the new cpu will do the same as the old one

a cpu used to 100% means that is doing alot, not that is dying, a cpu that will fail will not support 100% load, it will just shut down and never turn on again

 

[MasterKempinis]

Yes I know all the programs I'm 100 percent sure I have no viruses I looked on process and serious applications running funny enough I was bored so i just reinstalled windows

If the i5 760 isn't meeting your expectations anymore, your only real option is to save your money and do a complete system upgrade. The only better CPUs your board will take are the i7 8xx CPUs and their Xeon equivalents, which are just as old and aside from offering hyperthreading aren't any better than the i5 760. Buying an i7 or Xeon will at absolute best give you a 20-30% boost over the i5 760, but that's only in software that scales perfectly across more 4 cores and 8 threads.

Gaming performance will be fairly similar on an i7 8xx outside of a small handful of newer games that can benefit from the additional threads. In any case, any LGA 1156 CPU is likely to bottleneck a GTX 1060 to some extent, maybe if you push a 4GHz overclock it would be okay, but you're not likely going to be able to pull that off on a low end board like the H55m-usb3. Best you can do is just get the 1060, which will still be a lot faster than the 560Ti even if it is bottlenecked a bit and save up to move to a more modern platform.
