Upgrading my processor

[graywolfthegreat]

My processor died on me. I have a 10amd 7800knd I want to upgrade to a a10 9700 is there any thing I have to buy extra.

You would also need a new motherboard and new RAM. There's no upgrade path for this processor unless you're replacing the motherboard. And realistically, the RAM; a Haswell or Ivy Bridge CPU would be an upgrade on an A10-78xx (assuming you have a GPU), but it's best to not build around old DDR3 RAM when it's nearly 2019.

And if you're getting a new motherboard, no good reason to get an A10-9700. If you want an APU, you ought to be looking at a Ryzen 2200G or 2400G, which are far superior.

So can get one. That supports my motherboard?

No. Again, any thing better than what you already had is going to require a new motherboard and probably new RAM.

What should I do then? Can you recommend a solution on a good build you just gave me. See the issue I'm trying to fix either my process or or a new motherboard because the processor is not hot and I took it to a computer guy. It processsor or motherboard that went bad.

What's your budget for a new build? What parts could you bring over to a new build? If your processor is actually bad -- the motherboard is far more likely than the processor -- there's no fixing it.

I have $400 to build. And two ddr3 8gb ram. A harddisc 1tb storage along with 500ssd. And a gtx 750

It would be better just using salvaged parts like my graphics card and ran
Could you give.me a map of good builds fairly cheap

There's no build I can advise you to build in 2019 that involves re-using DDR3 RAM. It's penny-wise, pound-foolish.

With the $300 part list I gave you can re-use your GPU. You had said your budget was $400.

At this point, your goals are rather unclear; surely your plan isn't "spend $400, but not on a modern build but something slower from 2014." I'll check back on this thread at some point to see if you have a better idea of what it is you are trying to do exactly.

Please don't spam the forum, keep your cpu search to 1 thread.

Question from graywolfthegreat : "Motherboard went out"

My motherboard went caput. So did my cpu. What I need to do is buy a MB and new cpu. What my question is. Does it matter what kind of motherboard and cpu I get. Like I can upgrade if I want and buy new MB and cpu and it doesn't have to be same build

It doesn't matter what kind of motherboard and CPU you upgrade to, as long as the CPU and motherboard are compatible w/ each other (same cpu mount). Worst case scenario, you'll have to do a BIOS update if you get an older mobo with a newer CPU, which isn't too hard: https://www.wikihow.com/Update-Your-Computer%27s-BIOS
Your motherboard manufacturer will likely have instructions on updating BIOS as well.
Also, be sure to go into BIOS when you first boot to make sure the boot sequence is correct.
Make sure your ram DDR is compatible w/ the new mobo, and that you have enough power on your PSU to support your system.

What is your hardware now, will help decide what to upgrade to.

Any ryzen and Intel gen6 or newer cpus will have to have DDR4 ram. What PSU do you have? was this the cause of the bad MB and CPU?

I'm still researching. I have two storage one is a 1th the and 500gb on ssd. Can I still use that? I'm just buying a motherboard and cpu.

Yes that will work as long as your motherboard and the storage drives are both sata
