Question CPU/Motherboard

[jcrouch023]

Hello!

I have a 760GM-P34 FX motherboard. Wondering what the best processor I can put in this for gaming? Can it support the Ryzen 7 2700FX?

Or..should I even bother with upgrading this PC or just build completely new?

I have a GT 720 graphics card and 8gb RAM currently. 450 Watts power supply. Can’t remember what the hard drive is off the top of my head.

Trying to keep costs low on upgrading/building.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Ryzen certainly not, it would require whole new system, MB, CPU and RAM at least. Which CPU you have now ? Best CPU I would go for on that MB would be FX 6350.

You need an entirely new platform. CPU, motherboard, and ram, at the very least. What is the make/model, of the power supply, and what is the budget, for upgrade?

This is my current PS.

GEFORCE GT 720 graphics card

4 GB RAM

AMD FX 4300 Quad Core Processor


Upgrade or start new? I wanted to spend maybe $500-700 range

Thanks for this! I think I will go that route. Just didn’t know if anything was worth saving. Maybe I’ll spend a little more and upgrade to the Ryzen 7 too.
