have a bit of a dilemma. Have a system at the moment with- F2a68hm-ds2(po)Version fb motherboard-amd a6 5400K CPU- Nvidea GTX 760 (2gb) Graphic card. These components having a conflict ( cpu-gpu ) or maybe more correct described a bottleneck from around 48 %. ( cpu is to weak. )
I own three Intel cpu`s. The intel i7 2600 ( socket 1155 )/intel i5 750 ( socket 1156 ) and the intel i5 3470 ( socket 1155. I am thinking to buy AMD athlon x4 880K or the AMD A10 7890K. Why? Because they fit on my MB ( fm 2+ ) and are a good match with the GTX 760. Budget is around 100 euro and my dilemma is .......do I choose for the amd cpu, or buy an Intel 1155 socket board and use the i7 2600 that is 45 % better in all tasks, but to strong for the GTX 760. Please some realistic advise.

Ok, but i dont have the money to buy and a Intel 1155 socket board and a matching graphic card. For now I have to do it with the GTX 760. So, that is the dilemma.

That is not much of a dilemma. If you plan to play 2010 games a 760 would be OK. If you want to play current AAA games that is kind of insufficient, assuming of course you use the PC for gaming too. Although at 1080p I think you can manage low-medium graphics settings for around 50-60 fps I guess in many titles.

I agree with ElectrO_90 on the i7 though. Buy the board and later when you can replace the GPU. With that budget sadly you can't upgrade to a current platform (MOBO+CPU+RAM).

I am not playing the current 2017/19 games and for now not planning to. What I play is the oldy one Enemy territory ( for years now ) and maybe spme other oldies. Also I play world of warships, but start to dislike it becayse they add to much <Mod Edit> to it and that makes it less fun to play. Just want a bit smooth running system capable of running some older games without big issues, that was one of the reasons thinking about the amd cpu`s.
