Help me find a better CPU

[burstcow]

Hey guys,

I am going to build a gaming pc and I have been told to get a better CPU but not sure which...

My current build is:
600W EVGA 600B, 85% Eff', 80+ Bronze Quiet Power Supply - PSU
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 1046MHz 2GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI WindForce 3X
1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive - HDD
AMD (Piledriver) FX-8320 3.50GHz (4.00GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 8-Core Processor
MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970A (Socket AM3+) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
8GB (2x4GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Dual Channel Kit

I don't really want to spend over £100 on a processor...

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

Unfortunately, you cannot find a better CPU in your budget, even a slightly used one. Buy a good cooler and overclock your actual CPU.

The 8320 perform decently, you can overclock it to have more working power. What you could do is get a 990X/990FX chipset motherboard, but there aren't other upgrade paths.

If you are lucky and have a good chip, you might be able to push an extra 1000Mhz of performance out of it. I know a few guys that even pushed their chips to 5Ghz. Its all a matter of luck of the draw though, when I say good chip I dont mean model of the chip but rather luck that the particular chip you have was binned from good components. Like I said some guys can push their FX-83XX chips to 5Ghz and some guys cant get past 3.6 or 3.7Ghz.

Like Cristi72 said, get a good cooler and read up on overclocking. Good luck.
