Hi guys, I am currently in search of good CPU's on the Fm2+ socket I have a discrete gpu which is r7 250 I don't really plan on upgrading it because my money is set on upgrading my cpu can you please give me advices on what cpu to buy within the FM2+ socket?

I currently have a6 6400k as my cpu I know that it is old.

I want to upgrade my rig overall and go with ryzen 3 2200g but my budget limits me so I'm stuck with just upgrading my cpu

THANKS FOR YOU FEEDBACKS!

Save your money until you can upgrade to current Gen. Dont waste your money on extremely old limited hardware.

Athlon X4 840 - 850K - 860K I guess. But I'd hold off and do a full platform upgrade.

Like everyone says, it's not worth upgrading from your current cpu to something else.

 

If you insist, A8-7600 is around 50$ : https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-CPU-A8-Series-A8-7600-3-1GHz-Socket-FM2/183650804322

A8-6500 is around 45$ : https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-A8-6500-Series-3-50GHz-Quad-Core-CPU-Processor-AD65000KA44HL/273677238552?hash=item3fb86f4118:g:Wo8AAOSwKphcUFGk:rk:1:pf:1

A8-5500 is around 35$ : https://www.ebay.com/itm/CPU-Processor-AMD-A8-5500-5500B-3-20GHz-AD550B0KA44HJ-SOCKET-FM2/183621419706?hash=item2ac0b082ba:g:RVQAAOSwzcNcME0h:rk:1:pf:1

 

Anything lower's not really worth it.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, I am late to the party.

But I wanted to see what decision did the op make because I have a A6-6400K just like he had and I want to upgrade to a FM2+ CPU.

What did you buy OP in 2019?

It was a bad move in 2019, it's a worse move in 2021.

Listen to Skiiwii29.

I can't help but agree with the above....
However, if you are really determined to do it, find an A10-7870K and call it a day.
