MERGED QUESTION
Question from Star Butterfly : "what should I get?"



 
CPU is the brain of the computer. Without CPU we cannot run the program. CPU stores all the information of the system.
1. Assess what you use your computer for.
2. Decide on a number of cores.
3. Research performance.
4. Don't bottleneck other components!
5. Keep it compatible!
 
First question, which if any processor do you have now ?
When looking for an or best processor available for a particular MB, always look at support for it on it's manufacturer's site, in this case: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-F2A88XM-HD3-rev-30-31#support-cpu
and you can see that: "AMD Athlon X4 880K, 4000MHz Godavari 95W" best processor available. and should be a good match for GTX 1050 Ti.
