Hello,  I am looking for a new CPU that is compatible with what I have below.  I upgraded my motherboard a few months ago so I want to stay with AMD.  My budget is right around $200 but I am flexible.

 

  • CPU   AMD FX 6300  :(

 

  • Motherboard  Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0

 

  • RAM  16GB Corsair Vengeance (2x8) 1600 Mhz

 

  • GPU  Radeon 7850

 

  • ​PSU  Antec 650w 80+ Bronze
 
 
Thanks

In my opinion it's not wise to upgrade to a FX 8 core now I would get a nice i5 for that money but you will need a new motherboard for that.

I think the only option you have is the FX 8320.

But I would save some money to get a cheap H97/H87 motherboard with a Intel i5-4xxx

Why would you not recommend me to upgrade to a FX 8 core?

Very little performance gain for the money spent. The only sensible upgrade would be to save up for an i5 solution.

Since it's already old and with this budget you can get a nice i5 which destroys the 8 core in gaming.

And you don't gain much performance on the AMD platform.

A compatible CPU for you is a 8350. Which I would recommend not upgrading to.

It would be better to save up more money and purchase an i5, and a z97 board. Which would cost around 300$ (USD)

Quote my post if you need me to respond.

I would go for i5 4690k things a beast when it comes to gaming has hyperthreading and 4 cores and right now its going for around 220-240 but its worth it.

Ok, If I went Intel. Which i5 would I get?

If you are not overclocking a locked i5 (i5 4440) and a cheap h81 motherboard would be good. If you are overclocking get an i5 4690k and a z97 motherboard :)

No. An i5 doesn't have hyper threading. An i7 is hyper threaded.

How much would getting an i5 increase my performance with games such as Arma 3 Multiplayer and DayZ?

A lot. Those games like single threaded performance. Wouldn't be surprised if you gain over 20+ frames in those games.

Ok,  going with a intel CPU might save me money because I was planning on getting a new GPU and case (Because a better CPU won't fit in my current case LOL) to play game such as DayZ and Arma3 with better FPS.
