CPU choice for this mobo?

[Muath_]

Looking for a decent cpu that could run cpu heavy games on at least low with decent fps like arma 3 for less than $100

this is the mobo

I think you should get a motherboard that has the fm3+ socket type so you can get a FX-6300 CPU

 

[dantheman0809]

Something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-DDR3-Micro-Motherboard-GA-78LMT-USB3/dp/B009FC3YJ8/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1454030510&sr=1-4&keywords=asrock+970m+pro3

The reason I suggest this is because just about the best $100 cpu you can get is the fx-6300, which doesn't match the chipset of the board you suggested. If you absolutely have to use that motherboard that you listed, something like the Athlon x4 860k would suffice

Have you already purchased this board or do you plan on purchasing it soon?

Thanks dantheman $3 isn't really alot to pay for another mobo. Will that cpu run arma 3?

Also does that CPU come with a fan on amazon?

 

[dantheman0809]

It comes with a stock fan yes.

And yes, if your graphics card is decent enough it will definitely run arma 3.
I'm assuming you bought a graphics card with this, because this CPU does not have onboard graphics.
Which graphics card do you have?

I assume you are playing on 1080p resolution? With that resolution or anything lower you will definitely be able to run arma 3 quite well
