[Luc016]

I have an Asus M5A78L-M LX3 as a motherboard.

I want to upgrade my processor but, I cant get something that good with this motherboard, do you think I should change my motherboard and will it fit my pc?

If I was in your position, I would think about upgrading that motherboard to have the opportunity for more performance.

If you are on a tight budget, consider changing your CPU to an affordable Pentium G4560, an affordable B250 motherboard and 2x4GB DDR4 RAM. The Pentium G4560 is in itself a performance increase from your current FX6100. The G4560 pairs nicely with the GTX 1050Ti.

As you have a B250 platform to work with, you will, in the future, be able to upgrade your CPU to a more powerful i5-7500 or 7600 (or even an i7-7700 if your PC would be used for multitasking/editing works).

Your current CPU+MB is a dead end upgrade path which you have correctly pointed out.

If I change my motherboard to a intel one wich will allow an I5 all my other parts will be compatible? What motherboard do u suggest for like an i5?

You could keep GPU, drives, case and PSU. Motherboard, CPU and RAM would need to be new.

I cant use the same ram? Why not?

Because your current ram is DDR3, and new Intel builds use DDR4 only. It simply won't fit.

RAM : https://www.amazon.fr/HyperX-FURY-HX421C14FBK2-2133MHz-Compatible/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492430717&sr=1-1&keywords=ddr4
MOTHERBOARD : https://www.amazon.fr/MSI-H110M-Carte-Socket-LGA1151/dp/B01649FUXM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492430588&sr=1-1&keywords=LGA1151
PROCESSOR : https://www.amazon.fr/Intel-Skylake-Processeur-i5-6500-BX80662I56500/dp/B010T6CWI2/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492263379&sr=1-2&keywords=i5-6400
Will that all be good? I will bring it to a local computer store to install it do u think they will rebuy my old processor, ram and motherboard?

Yes, all compatible. Don't know your budget, but better build (but maybe more expensive) would be (for example) i5-7500 CPU, MSI B250M pro-VD and HyperX HX424C15FBK2/8 8GB 2400MHz (but you could use the same ram as you have chosen, it's also compatible with this build).
And it is quite possible your local shop could buy your old CPU, ram and mobo. Don't have idea for what price, but probably not too good.

If I buy https://www.amazon.fr/Intel-Core-Kabylake-i5-7500-Processeur/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492431938&sr=8-1&keywords=i5-7500
with https://www.amazon.fr/MSI-H110M-Carte-Socket-LGA1151/dp/B01649FUXM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492430588&sr=1-1&keywords=LGA1151
with my ram do u think that will be good?

Unfortunately, it is a bit tricky. To run this mobo with KabyLake CPU, its BIOS must be upgraded to newest version. It is possible that it may be shipped with newest BIOS, but if not, you will not be able to make it run. In this case, you would have to find a comp shop that will do that update for you (or borrow a SkyLake CPU from a friend and do it yourself) - but often the price those shops ask, when added to cost of mobo will be bigger then cost of B250 mobo.
However, if you can solve this problem, this combo will work.

So MOTHERBOARD : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01MS3HKTY/?tag=pcp09-21
CPU : https://www.amazon.fr/Intel-Core-Kabylake-i5-7500-Processeur/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492431938&sr=8-1&keywords=i5-7500
RAM : https://www.amazon.fr/HyperX-FURY-HX421C14FBK2-2133MHz-Compatible/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492430717&sr=1-1&keywords=ddr4
That combo will run games in ultra good for recording / editing videos ?

This build will work, and can run any new game. However, at this point your GPU will be the weakest point in the build, so some games might require lowering graphical settings.

Ok thanks alot bro u really helped me out!! normaly i should get this for my bday! hopefully all goes good and I can buy iy and it will work 😀
