ok not sure why i thought that was my motherboard i have the f2a85-m pro and yes it supports fm2. what would be my best bet for a upgrade within the 100-120$ range

Then he has to buy a discrete video card. AND a new motherboard. The 860K is FM2+. His board is FM2. I have a Asus Crossblade Ranger and a Asus A88X-PRO. Both have A10-5800K's in them. Both overclocked to 4.6 GHz. The 860K has a very, very small lead in performance clock-for-clock. He would not see any real benefit swapping the 5800K for the 860K cpu-wise. The A10-6800K or 760K are your only upgrades. And the difference would really be too small to notice.
