hello fellow pc geekers.


 


i have recently built a amd apu build on the fm2+ socket my current cpu is a a8-6600k which is fm2 (my motherboard supports fm2 and fm2+) and i have just upgraded my psu to a evga 500w psu and my gpu from a sapphire hd 7790 1gb to a evga gtx 960 4gb card and i was to know what would be the best cpu upgrade for the fm2+ socket am toying with the a10 7850k apu but i would like some advice if this would be the right choice.


 


thanks
