You really need to modernize your entire rig to get to current performance levels. Even a Phenom II X4 940 is going to perform poorly compared to a more current "low end" CPU/motherboard/memory config.
What is your upgrade budget?What motherboard and cpu do I recommend for amd
Just want to spend enough for fortnite recommended settingsWhat is your upgrade budget?
Amd Athlon x2 (tm) 245 processorWhat cpu do you have now?
All modern processors are 64 bit capable.
I presume you mean that you need to support a 64 bit version of windows.
In which case, you are ok now.
I doubt that one should spend anything at all on such an old and obsolete platform.
You could start with something like this:Just want to spend enough for fortnite recommended settings
Still don’t know which is the best am2+ cpu
Ok thanksIt's not AM2+. The best possible cpu that actually works in that AM2+ mobo is an AM3 cpu, specifically the Phenom II x6 1100T. It's a 125w cpu in a board designed to handle upto a 140w AM2+ cpu. Not entirely sure how much OC you'd get with such a high wattage cpu on that particular mobo.
Ok thanks

From the compatible CPU list provided much earlier, the strongest AM2+ CPUs are:Ok what about the best am2+ cpu

Phenom II X4 920
Phenom II X4 940
So I can use Phenom II X6 1065T this cpu.No. Your motherboard will only support 95w cpus. The Phenom II x6 1100T is a 125w cpu. If you go to the link COLGeek was nice enough to supply, then click on Cpu Support list, it lists all the AMD cpus that physically fit, but if you look at 'Since bios revision' all the way on the right, every 125w cpu is listed as N/A, as in Nope, Absolutely not.
You can still use a Phenom II x6, it'll just have to be the 95w version, such as the 1055T
