Help Upgrading Gaming PC CPU

[kingdonut239]

I know this is a Jurassic rig and I have had problems with support members finding info on the motherboard. I am looking for a budget of $100-$115 for the CPU price. My Jurassic Setup:

Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6750
Processor - AMD Athlon 7750 Dual Core 2.7 Ghz
RAM - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ
RAM - Nanya chips 2gb 240-pin ddr2 pc2-5300 667MHz CL5 SDRAM
Motherboard - Biostar TF520-A2 ver5.0 , Socket AM2, AMD Motherboard
Power Supply - SEASONIC SS-350ET ACTIVE PFC
Storage - SAMSUNG Spinpoint HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB 3.5' Internal Hard Drive

Honestly, I would not put a dime in that rig. It is not worth spending any money on as anything you put in it will be too old. I would save up for a new platform upgrade. If you still want to get a CPU for that rig, I would look at the Phenom X4 9950 BE. And I would not spend close to $100. I would want it for less than $50.

you are looking for a budget of $100-$115 for the CPU price...I am not sure exactly what you are looking for. However, with a budget of $100 -$115, you should be able to get a used combo of motherboard/CPU/RAM. Here is the link to ebay. I think you should aim for at least Intel i5 2nd gen. With some patience, you should be able to buy it with your budget.

Here is one combo that has just one hour left to bid. I want to link but link don't work so you just need to search it. Current bid is $72 so I don't know what is final price but this system will be way faster than yours now. You can google i5 2400 vs your Athlon 7750 to see the comparison.
Intel DH61WW LGA 1155 Motherboard + Intel i5-2400 3.10Ghz Quad CPU + 8GB RAM
