CPU Recommendations Please

[jakekeane1]

Hi, I want to buy a processor that would work well with my gtx 650ti, and has to be socket AM3+, recommendations?

The 8320 is probably the best AM3+ for the money, go for it if you can afford it, if not, the 6300 is pretty close.

what is your current CPU? And what is your motherboard make/model?

 

[jakekeane1]

Current CPU, AMD Sempron 145, and motherboard is GIGABYTE, would like a cpu for gaming

Definitely fx 8320 if you have a cpu cooler to overclock it, otherwise get an 8350

you need to find out specifically what make of Gigabyte motherboard you have in order to see what is the highest wattage CPU it can operate with. If you drop a 100W CPU into a motherboard only designed to handle a 65W CPU, there will be problems, most likely you will damage/ruin the motherboard and possibly the CPU.
