Should I keep my current cpu?

[kerulos.talaat]

I just need help cause I can't decide should I keep my current AMD cpu or swap to Intel,
My old cpu AMD A8-6600K and th motheboard GA-F2A55 but it's not working any more cause the problem with the main chip.
Now I'm so confused should I get a new motherboard fit with the current cpu and new cooler not planning to overclocking at all but the temp is really high at gaming it reaches out to 90 and higher on speccy or should I swap to Intel meanwhile if I will go for Intel gonna need graphic card while in AMD I'm gaming with out any graphic card at all.
Ps my budget not that good.

I would recommend you not spend any money on a FM2 CPU and/or motherboard. They are simply obsolete. Save your money for a new AMD or Intel based rig.

What is your planned budget for an eventual upgrade? Also, for the current heat issue, what make/model heatsink are you using with the CPU?

 

[kerulos.talaat]

My current budget around 150-200$ but I'm looking to get something used the heatsink is the regular one the I got with the CPU

Your cpu is very weak for gaming.
There are no real good upgrades, the FM2 line is essentially obsolete
I would not spend another dime on it.

Who knows what you can get used.
Intel processors will include integrated graphics, but integrated is not good for fast action games.

I was planning to get I5 4th gen and P81 and 550ti all this used but I meant to say my current processor with 8gp 1600 mhz was fine while gaming but not that heavy games

This combo of components would certainly out-perform your current configuration.

However, you could also live with your current performance for a while longer to save more money toward a current, more capable system. This would be my recommendation.

What about a ryzen APU system ? You could get probably better performance than the 550 ti and maybe even the i5 . You could go for the cheapest board ( asrock a320m-k ) a 2200g ( mostly 100 €/$ ) and some cheap ram ( best to be at 2933mhz + ) and if you wait for BLACK FRIDAY you could get a loot of value for ~230 €/$ .

The 2200g also comes with a decent cooler that would keep it in nice temps .

Replacing the thermal compound between your CPU and the heatsink, and cleaning any accumulated dust/hairballs from inside your case should help with the temps.
