Replacing A4 with A6 cpu

[Basith25]

Is it better for me to replace my A4 5300 cpu with A6 cpu as it has the same socket so i dont have to buy new mobo?

Or A10 as i dont want to change the mobo

A4 to A6 is not an upgrade, go directly to A8 or A10.

My specs are:

CPU AMD A4 5300 3.4ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHZ
1TB HDD 7200RPM 3.5inch
GTX 650 1GB DDR5 (i also have R7 250 1GB DDR5 in my storage but instead i use geforce as i assume it has greater performance than Radeon)
400W CM PSU

you have FM2 socket motherboard, then I would recommend AMD Athlon X4 760K or AMD Athlon X4 740K. A few reasons why I say that. 1 you intend to keep the mother board. 2 you have a dedicated graphic card. There is little reason for you to get A10, which cost more.

Definitively!

I thought you were using the iGPU. If you have a discrete GPU, buying an APU is a waste of money.

Go directly with an Athlon 760K.
