Please Could Someone Recomend a cpu for a msi 760GM-P23(FX) (MS-7641) (CPU1)

Could Someone Recomend a cpu for a msi 760GM-P23(FX) (MS-7641) (CPU1). I am looking for a gaming cpu for this socket that would go nicely/ next to no botlecap for a gtx 960 at 4gb.
possibly vr ready?
cheap if possible(under £100).
Thankyou very much for the help

Here is your CPU Support List for that motherboard. The best processor on this list is going to be the FX-8370E.

For under £100 is going to be the FX-8320E - UK PPCP

Note: The FX-8320E is not the same as the FX-8320.

Should handle a GTX 960 well enough, but probably borderline for VR (depending on which VR system).

Nothing on there is good enough for games nowdays. Sure they will run with fps drops quite often since the tech is over 5 years old now and was quite mediocre back then.

Also keep in mind that your board is quite terrible when it comes to quality since it struggles with even a fx 6300. The vrms overheat and cause it to throttle the cpu.

Assuming you meant "definitely", yes. That processor is compatible with your motherboard.

Better off with an fx6300 imo.

Also a LOT cheaper.

Second this. It will maintain higher clocks so better single core performance and the added 2 cores from the fx 8320e will usually never be used and when it will the game will be too much to handle for the fx anyways.
