I need a processer

[Jacobgarza]

I was looking at a A10-7700k but know I don't know what to do because it is APU what does that mean and I cand get intel so If you recommend somthing let it be amd I have around 100-150 dollars I can spend

do you have a mobo already?

do you have a mobo already?

What does that mean I am new

do you have a mobo already?

What does that mean I am new

Mobo = MOther BOard

A APU processor is a processor that is intended to work as a Processor and Graphics Processor. So that it eliminates the need for a GPU.

Yes I do

An APU means that it combines a GPU and a CPU. If you already have a GPU then you would have no need for an APU because they are not very fast in the CPU categorie alone. Also keep in mind that the APUs nee an FM2+ Socket mainboard and you will most likely not be able to upgrade it in the future because AMD switches to new sockets.

Instead of creating multiple thread,
What your budget for this upgrade? What your current system spec?

My mobo supports fm2+ but I have intergrated graphics right now will it make a difference ?

need full system spec that mean make and model and your budget.

Memory:4 gbs
Graphics:amd raedon 8730d
CPU:amd a4 6300 dual core

Right now I have a 110 to spend also keep in mind Black Friday

and the make and model of your motherboard? make and model of your psu?

I need to get a new psu but it is a powerman 350
My mother board is a A68HM-E33

 

[rgd1101]

you want a new psu and a new cpu for 110?

 

[Jacobgarza]

you want a new psu and a new cpu for 110?

No no just a CPU

So at the moment you don't have a GPU because you are using an APU already. If your mainboard is indeed an FM2+ Mainboard and you want to stay with it then take a look into the supported CPU List and see if the A10 7700K is supported. If it is supported then you have almost no other option because almost all other posibilities will require more money (to buy a seperate Graphics Card and CPU, as well as a new mainboard). Make sure your Power Supply can handle the extra Wattage from the new APU because the A10-7700 uses more power than the old A4-6300K. If you go the APU road then take a look at the A10-7850K and A10-7890K as well, but they could be a little bit out of the price range.


Ok i just saw that the mainboard should be ok with an A10-7700
PSU is the only deciding factor. never heard of a Powerman 350 but i would assume it's some cheap PSU that is two moments away from burning your house down

So if I would want like a intel i3 I would have to buy a new mobo and a graphics card ?

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/A68HM-E33.html#support-cpu
best apu you can get is A10-7700K, and they just under 100, A10-7850K for $130

else you will need to get more budget for a cpu/gpu combo

 

[thehutti]

if you go for an i3 you would have to go for a new mainboard as well, the i3 has also an integrated GPU but it's slower than the A10-7700s GPU in terms of Gaming. So you should probably go for a Graphics card then as well

I've done some research and it says my power supply can handle the 7700k till I can upgrade

Ok thanks

 

[Jacobgarza]

What about the fx series amd ?

 

[thehutti]

They don't work on FM2+ they need AM3+ so you would need a new Mainboard and a new graphics card as well because the FX-Series come without a integrated GPU
