I have a system based on a
GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 mobo and using an AMD FX4300 cpu. I recently upgraded the graphics card but I think the CPU needs the upgrade more. The new GPU is a new radeon r9 290. What would be the best CPU upgrade (I dont want to replace the mobo as well!). The 4.0 Mhz 8 core FX8350 looks like a contender. Will it work and would anything else need replacing? Are there other contenders given the existing mobo?
Many thanks
