what cpu's do my motherboard support

[sgxmodz]

I have a pre build acer aspire x3450 desktop I have swithched to a med case and a 500w psu

As my gpu (asus gtx 660ti) apparently will be bottlnecking because of my cpu I wanna know what cpu my motherboard supports and maybe recommend one so I have no bottleneck budget of £150-£180

Find out what CPU you have, look up your CPU, and then tell me what the socket is and then I will be able to help you.

there are 2 have look at this website (shows how many wat this amd processer uses look at the am3 ones

http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/athlon-ii-x2/Pages/AMD-athlon-ii-x2-processor-model-numbers-feature-comparison.aspx

And heres parpicker it shows estimated wattage

and theres fx 6300 fx 4300 fx 4100 fx6100 hope this help remember always to look at what socket it has and to find wattage google or look at part picker

So a fx 6300 would be compatible
