Question from Justinenyi : "best FM2+ socket CPU???"

I need to upgrade my cpu , any suggestions?

What is your current motherboard model, CPU and GPU?

AMD A10-7850K

AMD A10-7850K

Not necessarily. If the OP has a graphics card, there is no reason to PAY for the integrated graphics. An 860K would be a better choice. But without knowing what motherboard the OP has, there is no way to know if either of them is supported. It might be an HP motherboard with limited CPU support...
