Hey does anyone have any suggestion for good budget cpu that runs nicely with the gtx 1650 super(getting that for my b day thats why i want a good cpu so the cp does not bottleneck) I currently have a AMD FX 8350,

Here are my specs
GT 1030
AMD FX 8350
8GB DDR3
64BIT OPERATING SYSTEM
1TB HDD
500 WATTS
 
You could look at some CPU+Motherboard combos. I would steer away from spending money on an old socket type since you have the AM3+.

Go AMD if you are looking for budget but if you want to switch to Intel, look at the i5 9400f. Priced right now on amazon for $147.99 but of course you would need an LGA1151 board.

What applications and/or games are you running; do you feel your system is underperforming, and if so, how? Do you have a budget?
The games are cod warzone, apex legends. I researcher the compatibility of my current cpu and the gtx 1650 super, and there is sever bottle necking. Maybe 90-130$

... and DDR4 memory

Maybe 90-110$

That's rough. There is no CPU you can buy for your existing motherboard that would give you an upgrade.

Your budget will buy you a solid motherboard, though:

Then save up for a CPU and RAM

8GB Ram:

https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-3200M...4&qid=1586917188&sprefix=8GB+,aps,180&sr=8-15

Perhaps you could look at your local craigslist for a used Ryzen 5 1600 (about $60) and used 8GB DDR4 ($30)

This will be a MASSIVE upgrade for about $200 if you are willing to have patience to find used parts.

Alright thanks! So no cpu can match with my motherboard
