What is a good CPU upgrade for this system?

[tobin48]

Hi so I bought a custom system with the specs below:

Cool Master Mid Tower
Gigabyte GA - F2A68HM-H Motherboard
AMD A10 7860k Processor
EVGA 700w PSU
EVGA 1060 GPU

What I would like to add is a new CPU to speed up my system for a bit more quality gaming. What are some good recommendations of CPUs that will fit this socket type. My price range is 100-200$

none, check in your mobo's compatability list, but nothing leaps out at me, the A10's are the best APU's, but still quite poor.

Sorry to say it, but you've not made a great choice. Can you send it back.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from tobin48 : "Will this AMD processor work in my system?"

Hi so I bought a custom system with the specs below:

Cool Master Mid Tower
Gigabyte GA - F2A68HM-H Motherboard
AMD A10 7860k Processor
EVGA 700w PSU

What I would like to add is the following CPU:

AMD FX 8350 Series 8 Core Black Edition

I was wondering if this new processor would be compatible with my system. Also would it be much of an upgrade if it is?

Thanks

No. Wrong socket type. Here is your CPU support list. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-F2A68HM-H-rev-10#support-cpu
