What CPU can i get for my FM2 Motherboard?

[caleb1887]

Current Specs:
CPU: AMD-A45300
GPU: EVGA Gtx 950 SC+
Motherboard: GIGABYTE F2A75M-D3H

I was wondering what type of CPU I can get that will work for my motherboard, I was looking along the line something like an Intel i5, but if that doesn't work is there any good cpu better than my current that works without bottlenecking my gpu? Don't worry about power supply i got that covered.

Maybe a x4 760k, after updating the BIOS.

I would recommend getting an AMD Athlon X4 750k. It is a quad-core 3.4GHz CPU for around $100. It is the best FM2 CPU you can get. An A10 would not be a good choice because you are paying a lot more money because of the good integrated graphics on the CPU, but you already have a dedicated graphics card. Here is the link to all of the FM2 CPUs you could get, but the AMD Athlon X4 750k is by far the best and most powerful one!! Hope I helped!

You should always check the CPU Support List to verify what processors are supported. There are four different revisions to that motherboard. There may be differences between each revision (don't know, I didn't check).

CPU Supprt List Revision 1.0
CPU Supprt List Revision 1.1
CPU Supprt List Revision 1.2
CPU Supprt List Revision 3.0

You can check which revision you have by looking at the corner of your motherboard nearest the expansion slots. Printed on the PCB should be a revision number: "REV_x.x"
