Need help for upgrade my processor!

[Nagashy90]

Hi guys, i need your help.

I want to upgrade my i3 3220 dual core processor but i have only 100$ to spend. I've looking for the AMD 860k (Quad Core and 3.7 MHZ) and a GIGABYTE FM2+ MOBO compatible or an AMD FX 6300 six-core processor becouse i think, dual core processor are getting behind in time. I have a

BenQ 22" LED Monitor. 1080p!
GTX 750 TI SC 2GB

Sorry for my bad english. Waiting for you replyes.

Those wouldn't be upgrades as performance would be nearly the same. Your i3 may be a dual core, but it has hyper threading effectively simulating four cores. The IPC is higher than the 860K and FX 6300 at stock.

So my best choice is an intel i5 4th gen? for example, a 4660 or 4590.

That would be a decent upgrade, but why are you looking to upgrade your CPU?

In games like METRO i get very disapointed, my frame-rate is like 20-25 in full 1080p graphics (not full at all but the best as possible) and other games i can not remember right now. I frequently play: LoL, BF4, CS:GO. and those games run excelent, except bf4 in some maps, but is playable.

Have you tried playing at lower graphics? The 750ti is an entry level card not designed for max settings at 1080p.

In general, first person shooters are some of the games that stress the GPU, MMO type games often stress the CPU more. You do need a CPU upgrade, however, a slightly faster video card will help as well, a 960 Ti for example. You can sell your current card on ebay after purchasing a faster video card.

If you only have 100 dollars to spend and want to upgrade your CPU, you will have to stay with Intel 3000 series CPUs, unless specified by your motherboard manufacturer. Go to your motherboard manufacturer site and upgrade your BIOS to the latest version, or a newer version that will suit your needs. The motherboard manufacturer web site should tell you what CPUs will work in your motherboard and BIOS version, upgrade your motherboard BIOS to at least the version necessary to run the CPU you want to purchase. You will need to know the exact motherboard type and version [often printed on one of the corners, but check your manual or motherboard web site to make sure of the location].

Look in your motherboard manual to find out how to enter BIOS [upon boot-up], your current version should be listed there, you can also download SiSoftware Sandra Lite [software] and it will tell you your BIOS version. [Click on the Hardware tab then Computer Overview - near the top left {green icon}, your BIOS will be one of the first items listed].

Download SiSoftware Sandra Lite here [it is free to use]:

Check websites for new and used CPUs. www.microcenter.com usually has good prices for CPUs, however, you often are required to go there to purchase it. If you go to ebay, make sure the seller has 5 or more sales and all 100% positive feedback. If the person has thousands of sales, 97% positive feedback is safe. The more % in positive feedback the better, it will be the right step in getting a good part.

I know this is a lot of information, however, I am trying primarily to keep you within budget of $100. Remember, you can sell your current CPU on ebay.com if you go over budget a little. If you do not sell your CPU for what you want out of it you used to be able to re-list it one more time without a fee. It has been a while since I sold something on ebay though.

That would be a decent upgrade, but why are you looking to upgrade your CPU?

because i wanna play all the games in 1080p without probelms. that's the only reason. I know what my video card is a entry level card but i can upgrade it for a 960 or 970 later but what i need to know is the perfect processor for not bottleneck it.
