I have GTX 950 and my i3 540 doesn't perform really good with it. I want to buy new CPU. I have 400 USD. Could you tell me what should I buy? I have 400 W PSU.
I will play some games on it and make 1080p videos. It cannot be used

i would buy a psu too, becuse we don't know whicch one is and how good quality is, also 400 watts sounds like it doesn't have the right modern connectors needed for the upgrade that most people usually do, good mainboard, good gpu
