Hello to everybody!

I'm writing becouse my CPU it's litteraly dying (I have the actual cpu from 2010) and the socket it's 1156.

My actual rig it's:

-PSU: OCZ ModXStream 700W

-CPU: i3 540 socket 1156

-MB: AsRock H55M-LE

-RAM: 4GB DDR3 Kingstone (I have 2GB more but the MB started to don't load it since 2 years)

-VGA: HD6850 Sapphire 1GB GDDR5

-HDD1: 500GB WD Caviar Green

-HDD2: 500GB Hitachi 7200rpm (I don't remember the model no.)

-Case: Enermax Phoenix Neo

 

The usage it's for programming expecialy, but I will play some games like dota 2, minecraft, cs:go and not much else.
I will use linux on single boot and sometimes an VirtualMachine on linux (I will not expect to give to that more than 2GB of ram and 2 cores).

My plan it's to change only MB,CPU,RAM and CPU heatsink for now, my budget can reach about 350€, I'm from Italy.

My first plan it's to buy an AMD CPU FX8350 or FX8320E, but I can pick another CPU (intel/amd) without any problem. Obviusly I cannot stay with the boxed heatsink becouse it's not powerfull enought (I use my pc a lot of time) and I prefer to don't buy liquid cooler/s.

If you need more information I will try to give you all of them.

Thank's for reading and in case for help,

Fraste

 

PS: sorry if my english is really bad!

i5-4460 (i3-4170 if that pushes the budget too much) + Any B85/H81/H97 board + any 8GB set of DDR3 + whatever heatsink (I recommend the be quiet! Pure Rock and Cryorig H7)
