Good Buget combos.

Hello, i currently have the following specs,

8GB DDR3 RAM
GTX 750 1GB
AMD A8-6600K 4.1QC APU
MSI A78M-E35 FM2 SOCKET

I have been told my socket is 100% useless in terms of getting a better CPU, so i have been looking around and i have found these combos, will i see a good increase in games such as csgo?

16GB DDR3 RAM
GTX 750 1GB
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Quad-Core
ASUS M4A78LT-M AMD Socket AM3 Desktop Motherboard

16GB DDR3 RAM
GTX 750 1GB
Intel Celeron G1820
MSI Intel H81 LGA 1150

Would it be better as a investment to god to a Intel board?

Thanks for all your help!

What's your budget? Looks like you're OK with 2nd hand setups (I like used hardware save $$)I'd stay far away from both of those builds you linked. I'd look for a 2nd or 3rd gen i5 setup. It will blow your current CPU away and shouldn't break the bank. Check the classified forum for deals here also lots of goodies.

Well i bought a am3 motherboard awhile back (ASUS M4N98TD EVO SOCKET AM3 MOTHERBOARD), i dont have a lot of money (around 70 pound), i have looked online at some cpus, the only game i play is csgo and people as playing on worst gpu then me and are getting 150+ fps when recording, they are reviewing the Phenom II X4 965 - 3.4 Ghz AM3 Black Edition CPU.

For just playing csgo will it be a good option for the price range to buy a Phenom II X4 965 - 3.4 Ghz AM3 Black Edition CPU?

I'd go with the AMD one, because you could upgrade to a Phenom II X6 1090T and a R9 280x later, which is nice and very cheap (this processor is <100€ and the card is <100 euros).
AMD is very often the best solution for budget gaming rigs.
