Looking to upgrade to a Athlon X4 750k

[Royal Sniper]

Hi guys I was wondering if I should upgrade my processor to the Athlon X4 750K because I don't want to bottleneck my GPU and I think it's now essential for most newer games to have a Quad Core Cpu. Also I Live in Canada, So If You Guys Can Help me please convert it to CAD dollars Thx 😀

Currently My Pc is:

CPU= AMD A6 6400k Black Edition 3.9GHz Dual Core
GPU= Zotac GT 740 1gb GDDR5
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-D3H Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard
Ram= 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz (Gonna Upgrade to 8GB!)
HDD= 500GB Seagate 7200RPM
PSU= EVGA 430W 80+ Certified
OS: Windows 10

I kinda bottleneck in games with this CPU even sometimes in CS:GO (i Play CS:GO on 1080p ULTRA and I get very good fps from 40-60+ but it will bottleneck on different maps or just when i'm playing down to 18-26 FPS, I'm looking to game in 720p High, Medium or Low for the newer games and 1080p medium to ultra for the older games. I just want some people's opinion on this choice because I don't think it will bottleneck with my GT 740 or If I get a new Gpu like a R9 270. -Thx Royal

CS:GO is very CPU intensive. The 740K is about as good as you can get on that board. I would plan to overclock it as well.

In very CPU intensive circumstances it will limit any GPU.

X4 860K is the best you can go for.

The X4 880K is the best, by a little bit, but it's the overclocking that will make the difference.

The X4 750K is probably the best CPU the OP can use on that board without a BIOS update. I'm assuming that they still have F1 otherwise they would have looked at a X4 760K, which uses F2.
